The synthesis of high quality single layer graphene on rhodium, g/Rh(111), is reported. The graphene layers are grown at 1060 K by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using 3-pentanone as a precursor molecule. The presented growth technique shows an easy high quality production method for epitaxial graphene monolayers. The chemical composition and structural properties of such self-assembled monolayers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) confirms the formation of a 3 nm super cell and a unique surface morphology which establishes the potential of g/Rh(111) as a template for molecules.
