AbstractMultilayers of Bi 2Se 3/ZnSe with the periodicity of a few nanometers were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on Si(111). While epitaxial growth of Bi 2Se 3 on ZnSe proceeded by two-dimensional nucleation, ZnSe growth on Bi 2Se 3 showed the three-dimensional growth front. Therefore, the two complementary interfaces of Bi 2Se 3/ZnSe were asymmetric in morphological properties. Strain-relaxation rates were found to differ between epitaxial ZnSe and Bi 2Se 3, which could be attributed to the specific growth modes and the properties of Bi 2Se 3 and ZnSe surfaces. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
