Here we demonstrate the controlled growth of Bi(110) and Bi(111) films on an (insulating) $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) substrate by surface X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity using synchrotron radiation. At temperatures as low as 40 K,…

Bismuth (Bi) atomic layers are known as 2D topological materials with variety of the electronic structures and topological orders depending on the number of stacking layers. Recently, it is reported that few layers of Bi grown on…

Bi(0001) films with thicknesses up to several bilayers (BLs) are grown on Se-terminated Bi$_2$Se$_3$(0001) surfaces, and low energy electron diffraction (LEED), low energy ion scattering (LEIS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to…

InBi(001) is formed epitaxially on InAs(111)-A by depositing Bi on to an In-rich surface. Angle-resolved photoemission measurements reveal topological electronic surface states, close to the M bar high symmetry point. This demonstrates a…

Scanning tunnelling microscopy has been used to study the formation of a Bi monolayer deposited on the five-fold surface of i-Al70Pd21Mn9. Upon deposition of low sub-monolayer coverages, the nucleation of pentagonal clusters of Bi adatoms…

The initial growth of MnBi on MnAs terminated (GaMn)As is studied by means of synchrotron based photoelectron spectroscopy. From analysis of surface core level shifts we conclude that a continued epitaxial MnBi layer is formed, in which the…

Thin Bi films are interesting candidates for spintronic applications due to a large spin-orbit splitting that, combined with the loss of inversion symmetry at the surface, results in a band structure that is not spin-degenerate. In recent…

In this work, we report the growth of a single mixed Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$ layer, with diverse stoichiometries, on a Ag(111) substrate. The atomic geometry has been thoroughly investigated by low energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling…

The morphology and electronic structure of pentacene (Pn) deposited on Cu(111) was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Deposition of a multilayer followed by annealing to reduce coverage to a monolayer…

In recent decades, the growth of ultrathin epitaxial bismuth (Bi) films on various substrates has garnered interest due to their unique electronic properties. We report upon the growth and electrical transport properties of epitaxial Bi…

The growth and characterization of epitaxial Co3O4(111) films grown by oxygen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on single crystalline a-Al2O3(0001) is reported. The Co3O4(111) grows single crystalline with the epitaxial relation…

Among superconductor/semiconductor hybrid structures, in-situ aluminum (Al) grown on InGaAs/InAs is widely pursued for the experimental realization of Majorana Zero Mode quasiparticles. This is due to the high carrier mobility, low…

We explore the Bi-surfactant-directed self-assembly and structure of InAs quantum dots grown on GaAs(110) by molecular beam epitaxy. The addition of a Bi flux during InAs deposition changes the InAs growth mode from two-dimensional (2D)…

Surface energies play a dominant role in the self-assembly of three dimensional (3D) nanostructures. In this letter, we show that using surfactants to modify surface energies can provide a means to externally control nanostructure…

Despite its potential in the fields of optoelectronics and topological insulators, experimental electronic band structure studies of Bi-doped GaAs are scarce. The reason is the complexity of growth which tends to leave bulk and in…

The interface and electronic structure of thin (~20-74 nm) Co3O4(110) epitaxial films grown by oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on MgAl2O4(110) single crystal substrates have been investigated by means of real and reciprocal space…

This work describes morphological and crystalline properties of the InAs islands grown on templates created by focused ion beam (FIB) on indium phosphide (InP) substrates. Regular arrangements of shallow holes are created on the InP (001)…

We report the molecular beam epitaxy of Bi_1-xSb_x thin films ($0 \leq x \leq 1$) on (0001) sapphire substrates using a thin (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ buffer layer. Characterization of the films using reflection high energy diffraction, x-ray…

Lead has been deposited on the ten-fold surface of decagonal Al72Ni11Co17 to form an epitaxial quasicrystalline single-element monolayer. The overlayer grows through nucleation of nanometer-sized irregular islands and the coverage saturates…

The microstructure of Bi2Se3 topological-insulator thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP(111)A and InP(111)B substrates that have different surface roughnesses has been studied in detail using X-ray diffraction, X-ray…
