The Moiré-type nm-scale patterns of graphene monolayers on metal single crystals were recently shown to allow facile fabrication of ordered arrays of virtually monodisperse metal nanoclusters by simple metal vapour deposition in UHV [1-3]. In view of a potential utilization as structurally well defined model systems in electrocatalysis, with extremely small metal clusters, we have tested the possibility of preparing Ru and bimetallic PtRu clusters by an analogous procedure. Based on statistically evaluated STM images, we will report on the nucleation behaviour of Ru and Pt clusters respectively and its consequences on bimetallic PtRu cluster growth, depending on the evaporation sequence of the two metals.
