Recently, the topological insulators (TIs) antimony telluride (SbTe) and bismuth telluride (BiTe) are attracting high interest for applications based on spin-charge interconversion mechanisms. Aiming to make a step toward the technology transfer, it is of major importance to achieve and investigate epitaxial quality-TIs on large area Si-based substrates. In view of that, we report here magnetotransport and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies on SbTe and BiTe thin films grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on top of 4″ Si(111) substrates.

A pure crystallogeometrical approach is proposed for predicting orientation relationships, habit planes and atomic structures of the interfaces between phases, which is applicable to systems of low-symmetry phases and epitaxial thin film growth. The suggested models are verified with the example of epitaxial growth of α-, γ- and β-FeSi silicide thin films on silicon substrates. The density of near-coincidence sites is shown to have a decisive role in the determination of epitaxial thin film orientation and explains the superior quality of β-FeSi thin grown on Si(111) over Si(001) substrates despite larger lattice misfits.

Covalently attached perylene monolayers serve as back contacts for SbS photoelectrochemical cells with a thianthrene front, rectifying contact. Covalent attachment of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, PTCDA, to Si(111) utilizes an anhydride-to-imide conversion at surface-attached amines. For SbS solar absorbers, we hypothesized that a terminal thioperylene anhydride, i.

Oxidized Si(111) substrates were pre-structured by electron beam lithography and used as a substrate for the selective growth of three-dimensional topological insulators (TI) by molecular beam epitaxy. The patterned holes were filled up by the TI, i.e.
