RESUMO

Two-dimensional (2D) magnets exhibit unique physical properties for potential applications in spintronics. To date, most 2D ferromagnets are obtained by mechanical exfoliation of bulk materials with van der Waals interlayer interactions, and the synthesis of single- or few-layer 2D ferromagnets with strong interlayer coupling remains experimentally challenging. Here, we report the epitaxial growth of 2D non-van der Waals ferromagnetic bilayer FeSb on SrTiO3(001) substrates stabilized by strong coupling to the substrate, which exhibits in-plane magnetic anisotropy and a Curie temperature above 390 K. In situ low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and density-functional theory calculations further reveal that an Fe Kagome layer terminates the bilayer FeSb. Our results open a new avenue for further exploring emergent quantum phenomena from the interplay of ferromagnetism and topology for application in spintronics.

RESUMO

Silver chalcogenides have attracted a great deal of interest due to their promise for exhibiting novel topological properties. Using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), we have characterized the atomic structure and electronic properties of a monoclinic Ag2Se thin film, similar to ß-Ag2Te, grown on a SrTiO3 (STO)(001) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Three different types of Ag2Se atomic terminations are observed on the surface: (i) homogeneous hexagonal-like, (ii) rough mixed, and (iii) flat zigzag-striped structures. Structural analysis indicates that the different atomic terminations stem from different growth directions, which can be attributed to the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the Ag2Se film. STS analysis of these atomic terminations uncovers different features near the Fermi level, indicating constituent- and direction-dependent electronic properties. This Letter presents a practical method to grow monoclinic thin film Ag2Se and provides insight into its physical properties.

RESUMO

Intermetallic bismuth-based compounds have attracted great interest as promising candidates for novel topological superconductivity. Among them, CaBi2 is a newly discovered member for which the atomic structure and electronic properties have never been systematically explored. Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), we systematically characterized the atomic structure and electronic properties of CaBi2(010) thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and found that their growth follows a Stranski-Krastanov mode. A nonreconstructed IBi layer and a (1 × 2) reconstructed IICa layer were found to be the most common surfaces. Nonreconstructed IIIBi and VCa layers were further exposed with reduced bismuth growth flux. All of these constituent layers exhibit unique features in the STS spectra, indicating that unique electronic properties exist in each specific constituent layer. Our findings provide for deeper understanding of the physical properties of this compound and suggest further studies of the two-dimensional (2D) layered materials family.
