摘要
Growth of high-quality Bi2Se3 films is crucial not only for study of topological insulators but also for manufacture of technologically important materials. We report a study of the heteroepitaxy of single-crystal Bi2Se3 thin films grown on GaAs and InP substrates by use of molecular beam epitaxy. Surface topography, crystal structure, and electrical transport properties of these Bi2Se3 epitaxial films are indicative of highly c-axis oriented films with atomically sharp interfaces.
