The on-surface synthesis of nano-graphenes has led the charge in prototypingstructures with perspectives beyond silicon-based technology. Following reportsof open-shell systems in graphene-nanoribbons (GNR), a flurry of researchactivities is directed at investigating their magnetic properties with a keeneye for spintronic applications. Although the synthesis of nano-graphenes isusually straightforward on gold, it is difficult to use it for electronicdecoupling and spin-polarized measurements. Using a binary alloy Cu3Au(111), weshow how to combine the efficient gold-like nano-graphene formation with spinpolarization and electronic decoupling known from copper. We prepare copperoxide layers, demonstrate thermally and tip-assisted synthesis of GNR and growthermally stable magnetic Co islands. We functionalize the tip of a scanningtunneling microscope with carbon-monoxide, nickelocene, or attach Co clustersfor high-resolution imaging, magnetic sensing, or spin-polarized measurements.This versatile platform will be a valuable tool in the advanced study ofmagnetic nano-graphenes.
