Atomic C deposition onto the graphene moiré with Ir(111) leads in a broad temperature range from 130 K to 550 K to the formation of a nanodiamond superlattice with one C cluster per moiré unit cell. The size of the C clusters is tunable between about 20 and 150 C atoms. For deposited amounts exceeding about 200 C atoms per moiré unit cell the ordering is lost, but still nanodiamond structures remain. The nanodiamond superlattice is thermally stable up to 800 K. Annealing to higher temperatures results in C intercalation and eventually bilayer graphene formation. On the basis of scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory a model for C cluster formation, structure, stability, and decay is developed. Based on the generality of our model, we speculate that nanodiamonds may form on other moirés of 2D materials with their substrate.
