AbstractSuperlattices (SLs) consisted of alternating Bi 2Se 3 and In 2Se 3 layers are grown on Si(111) by molecular-beam epitaxy. Bi 2Se 3, a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI), showed good chemical and structural compatibility with In 2Se 3, a normal band insulator with large energy bandgap. The individual layers in the SLs are very uniform, and the hetero-interfaces are sharp. Therefore, such SL structures are potential candidates for explorations of the quantum size effects of TIs. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
