摘要
PdTe2, a member of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), has aroused significant research interest due to the coexistence of superconductivity and type-II Dirac fermions. It provides a promising platform to explore the interplay between superconducting quasiparticles and Dirac fermions. Moreover, PdTe2 has also been used as a substrate for monolayer antimonene growth. Here in this paper, we report the epitaxial growth of high quality PdTe2 films on bilayer graphene/SiC(0001) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Atomically thin films are characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and Raman spectroscopy. The band structure of 6-layer PdTe2 film is measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Moreover, our air exposure experiments show excellent chemical stability of epitaxial PdTe2 film. High-quality PdTe2 films provide opportunities to build antimonene/PdTe2 heterostructure in ultrahigh vacuum for future applications in electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices.
