Colloidal epitaxial heterostructures are nanoparticles composed of two different materials connected at an interface, which can exhibit properties different from those of their individual components. Combining dissimilar materials offers…
We study the electronic properties of InAs/EuS/Al heterostructures as explored in a recent experiment [S. Vaitiekenas \emph{et al.}, Nat. Phys. (2020)], combining both spectroscopic results and microscopic device simulations. In particular,…
Narrow bandgap InAs$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$ nanowires show broad prospects for applications in wide spectrum infrared detectors, high-performance transistors and quantum computation. Realizing such applications require the fine control of composition…
(001)-oriented thin films of the three-dimensional Dirac semimetal cadmium arsenide can realize a quantum spin Hall insulator and other kinds of topological physics, all within the flexible architecture of epitaxial heterostructures. Here,…
In molecular beam epitaxy, the spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires on Si(111) substrates at elevated temperatures is limited by the long incubation time that precedes nanowire nucleation. In this work, we present three unconventional…
Transition metal oxide heterostructures and interfaces host a variety of exciting quantum phases and can be grown with atomic-scale precision by utilising the intensity oscillations of $in$ $situ$ reflection high-energy electron diffraction…
Using atomic resolved scanning tunneling microscopy, we present here the experimental evidence of a silicene sheet (graphene like structure) epitaxially grown on a close-packed silver surface (Ag(111)). This has been achieved via direct…
This paper introduces a growth method---suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy (S-MBE)---which enables the growth of Ga2O3 and related materials at growth rates exceeding 1 micrometer per hours with excellent crystallinity in an…
Heteroepitaxy on nanopatterned substrates is a means of defect reduction at semiconductor heterointerfaces by exploiting substrate compliance and enhanced elastic lattice relaxation resulting from reduced dimensions. We explore this…

An epitaxial semiconductor-superconductor nanowire is a superconducting system with a complex level structure originating from hybridization: in addition to a dense set of higher-energy states derived predominantly from the metallic…
The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the semiconductor properties like the spin-orbit coupling and…
