Thin film growth of a topological crystal insulator SnTe on the CdTe (111) surface by molecular beam epitaxy

Ryo Ishikawa, Tomonari Yamaguchi, Yusuke Ohtaki +2

We report molecular beam epitaxial growth of a SnTe (111) layer on a CdTe template, fabricated by depositing it on a GaAs (111)A substrate, instead of BaF${}_2$ which has been conven…
