Popis: Islands of highly oriented graphite were grown by chemical vapor deposition at 900 °C upon a Pt film with initial thickness 50 nm formed on sapphire. The value of mosaic spread estimated from a rocking curve for graphite (002) X-ray diffraction was 0.27° which is smaller than that of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Depth profiles of elements measured by Auger analyses indicated that dips appeared during chemical vapor deposition in the originally flat Pt film. The depth profiles also indicated that the graphite islands grew within the dips in the Pt film. It was found that the surface planes (110) and (001) of sapphire yield a better aligned graphite than (012).
