Highly ordered arrays of Ir clusters can be obtained by depositing Ir on Ir(111) surface covered with a graphene monolayer. The periodicity of these arrays is determined by the moire pattern of graphene on Ir(111) [N’Diaye et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 215501, 2006]. In order to uncover the mechanisms of Ir-cluster lattice formation on a moiré of graphene with Ir(111) we investigated the average cluster size and the occupation probability of moiré cells as a function of coverage, temperature and annealing time. We used a simple kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to derive atomistic parameters of adatom and cluster motion during the lattice formation. Assuming monomer and dimer mobility only, the data for temperatures up to 400 K may be reproduced fairly well, while at higher temperatures or longer annealing time the effect of the mobility of larger clusters become noticable.
