The results of graphene layers formation on Ni surface due to methane pyrolysis are presented in this work. The investigation was carried out using technique that allows controlling morphology of the sample surface with high spatial resolution. This technique includes the use of scanning tunnel microscope (STM) introduced inside the reaction chamber which allows to get rid of atmosphere gases impact. Bubble structure of obtained few-layer graphene film with typical diameter about 100 nm was observed. It was found that local morphology of these bubbles can be easily changed by increasing tunnel voltage applied to the STM tip.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
