Inspired by recent studies of various two-dimensional (2D) metals such as Au,Fe and Ag, we study the growth of two-dimensional gold patches in graphenepores by density-functional theory. We find that at room temperature gold atomsdiffuse readily on top of both graphene and two-dimensional gold with energybarriers less than $0.5$ eV. Furthermore, gold atoms move without barriers fromthe top of graphene to its edge and from the top of 2D gold to its edge. Theenergy barriers are absent even at the interface of 2D gold and graphene, sothat the gold atoms move effortlessly across the interface. We hope ourdemonstration for the propensity of diffusing gold atoms to grow 2D goldpatches in graphene pores will inspire the fabrication of these patchesexperimentally.
