Abstract

Graphene grown on Rh(111) was used as a template for the growth of Pd nanoclusters. Using high-resolution synchrotron radiation-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we studied the deposition of Pd on corrugated graphene in situ. From the XP spectra, we deduce a cluster-by-cluster growth mode. The formation of clusters with 3 nm diameter was confirmed by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. The investigation of the thermal stability of the Pd particles showed three characteristic temperature regimes: Up to 550 K restructuring of the particles takes place, between 550 and 750 K the clusters coalesce into larger agglomerates, and finally between 750 and 900 K Pd intercalates between the graphene layer and the Rh surface.
