Three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by their nontrivial surface states, in which electrons have spin locked at a right angle to momentum under the protection of time-reversal symmetry. The topologically ordered phase TIs does not break any interplay between order and symmetry breaking, such as that observed superconductivity, can lead new quantum phenomena devices. We fabricated superconducting TI/superconductor heterostructure growing dibismuth triselenide...

We report the observation of a dense triangular network one-dimensional (1D) metallic modes in continuous and uniform monolayer MoSe(2) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies show that these 1D are midgap states at inversion domain boundaries. Scanning measurements further reveal intensity undulations modes, presumably arising from superlattice potentials due to moiré pattern quantum confinement effect. A with...
Interest in two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has prompted some recent efforts to grow ultrathin layers of these materials epitaxially using molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). However, growths monolayer (ML) and bilayer (BL) WSe2—an important member the TMD family—by MBE method remain uncharted, probably because difficulty generating tungsten fluxes from elemental source. In this work, we present a scanning tunneling microscopy spectroscopy (STM/S) study MBE-grown WSe2...
