The graphene layers in the film conformed the substrate surface except ridges of a few tens nanometers in height. The STM study shown an atomically smooth graphite surface with a typical hexagonal order in between the ridges. The supposed origin of the ridges is the difference in thermal expansion of nickel and graphite at CVD growth process. The film thickness is estimated to be in the range of 1 to 10 nm using Auger and Raman spectroscopy analysis.

  2. CVD process (carbon vapor deposition) CH4 900 – 1100 ºC

  3. SEM images of films deposited on Si (a) and Ni (b, c) substrates with identical conditions of CVD process. The image (c) obtained with sample tilt of 75°.

  4. STM images of surface of graphite film grown on Ni corresponding to atomic arrangement of ideal graphite single crystal (a) and with graphene layers stacking fault producing the moiré (b).

  5. Raman spectra of CVD films obtained on Si (curve 1) and Ni (curve 2) substrates. Spectrum 1 is presented after subtraction of PL.

  6. Schematic presentation of three stages in deposition process of graphite film on Ni substrate
