摘要:

碲化铋拓扑绝缘体外延薄膜由于在自旋电子学和量子计算中的潜在应用而受到越来越多的关注。外延膜的最重要的性质之一是由于横向晶格失配而存在界面缺陷,因为电活性缺陷可以极大地损害器件性能。通过描述立方衬底上的六方碲化铋薄膜中的混合反射,面内晶格失配的准确性比使用其他X射线衍射方法至少好20倍,提供了0.007\%横向晶格失配的明确证据,与薄膜结构中与范德华间隙相关的应力松弛一致。

英文摘要:

Epitaxial films of bismuth telluride topological insulators have received increasing attention due to potential applications in spintronic and quantum computation. One of the most important properties of epitaxial films is the presence of interface defects due to lateral lattice mismatch since electrically active defects can drastically compromise device performance. By describing hybrid reflections in hexagonal bismuth telluride films on cubic substrates, in-plane lattice mismatches were characterized with accuracy at least 20 times better than using other X-ray diffraction methods, providing clear evidence of 0.007\% lateral lattice mismatch, consistent with stress relaxation associated with van der Waals gaps in the film structure.
