Epitaxialgrowth process and morphology evolution in the initial growth stages of graphene on Pt (111) surface have been studied by means of canonical Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the nucleation,carbon chains, carbon rings, and then graphene domain are formed orderly in the early growth s...
