Structural and electronic characterization of thin Fe(Se,Te) films on the quaternary (Bi,Sb)SexTe1−x 3D topological insulator — •Philipp Kagerer, Thiago R. F. Peixoto, Celso Fornari, Hendrik Bentmann, and Friedrich Reinert — Experimental Physics VII, Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg

The combination of an s-wave superconductor iron-chalcogenide and a 3D-topological insulator (TI) has become a vivid research topic in condensed matter physics due to the proposed emergence of bound Majorana zero modes at the interface under the presence of a time-reversal-breaking magnetic field [1]. Owing to its simple cubic structure and good growth properties, thin FeSeTe layers on (Bi,Sb)SexTe1−x pose a promising platform to test this prediction.
Here we report on the epitaxial growth and characterization of thin layers of Fe(Se,Te) on a quaternary (Bi,Sb)(Se,Te) TI single-crystal. LEED and XPS experiments as well as STM and STS scans confirm the formation of a few monolayers of Fe(Se,Te) on top of the TI substrate. Using ARPES we show the arising of the FeSeTe valence bands near the Fermi level, along with the heavily n-doped band structure of the underlying TI. In addition, photon-energy-dependent and resonant measurements using synchrotron radiation allow a distinction between substrate and overlayer bands, and show indications for strong electron correlation and a Hubbard-gap in the material [2].
