We present a systematic investigation of the edge states (ESs) of two-dimensional α-
bismuthene (α-Bi) structures self-assembled on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrates …

The concept of proximity coupling is a promising approach to specifically modify the
properties of epitaxial graphene layers. In order to introduce spin-orbit coupling into …

Over the past three decades, the growth of Bi thin films has been extensively explored due to
their potential applications in various fields such as thermoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and …

Using a simple sequential deposition method, we grow black-phosphorus-like antimonene
(α-antimonene) on top of α-bismuthene nanoislands. Due to the lattice mismatch between …

Proximitized 2D materials present exciting prospects for exploring new quantum properties,
enabled by precise control of structures and interfaces through epitaxial methods. In this …

The structure and growth behavior of Bi (110) ultrathin films on Si (111)-7× 7 substrate are
studied using real-time x-ray crystal truncation rod scattering measurements. The film grows …

We have investigated the structures and electronic properties of ultrathin Bi (110) films
grown on an s-wave superconductor substrate using low-temperature scanning tunneling …

Over the past three decades, the growth of Bi thin films has been extensively explored due to
their potential applications in various fields such as thermoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and …
