Graphene grown by CVD on polycrystalline copper foil is investigated by PEEM, LEEM, LEED and STM. LEED indicates that the flakes consist of rotated domains as well as twisted bilayer areas. The twist between two graphene layers grown on top of each other leads to the formation of periodic Moiré superstructures, which were observed by STM. In addition, the formation of surface facets on the copper foil gives rise to a stripe pattern in PEEM and LEEM, and a displaced LEED pattern, which can be attributed to the inclined terraces of the faceted surface by dark field LEEM. Inclination angles between facets have been determined by energy dependent LEED and are comparable with literature reports [1, 2]. AFM and STM confirm the results of the faceted surface obtained by LEEM.
