Growth control of highly textured Bi2Te3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition
Two-dimensional materials have attracted growing interest due to their unique electronic properties and potential applications in spintronics. Interfacing strongly spin-orbit-coupled chalcogenides with functional oxides such as perovskites has a particularly high potential. In this work, highly textured Bi2Te3 thin films were deposited on (111) oriented SrTiO3 by pulsed laser deposition. We show that, by careful selection of the temperature and pressure of growth, the film's stoichiometry can b…
