Atomic Structure and Electronic Properties of Intermetallic CaBi₂ Thin Films

Atomic Properties of Monoclinic Ag2Se Thin Film Grown on SrTiO3Substrate by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

“…In this Letter, we report the fabrication of epitaxial Ag 2 Se thin films grown on TiO 2 -terminated SrTiO 3 (STO)(001) substrates together with characterization of their atomic structure and electronic properties by using a state-of-the-art integration of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and STM/S techniques. MBE is a powerful tool for the fabrication of specific constituent layers of nominally stoichiometric ultrathin films . More specifically, by controlling the Se-to-Ag flux ratio, we obtained a monoclinic-structured Ag 2 Se film with different growth directions.…”

“…MBE is a powerful tool for the fabrication of specific constituent layers of nominally stoichiometric ultrathin films. 32 More specifically, by controlling the Se-to-Ag flux ratio, we obtained a monoclinic-structured Ag 2 Se film with different growth directions. We found that the growth of Ag 2 Se thin films follows a Volmer−Weber mode with an amorphous wetting layer.…”
