Epitaxial growth and characterization of Bi1−xSbx thin films on (0001) sapphire substrates

We report the molecular beam epitaxy of Bi1−xSbx thin films (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) on sapphire (0001) substrates using a thin (Bi,Sb)2Te3 buffer layer. The characterization of the films using reflection high energy diffraction, x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron micr...
