Abstract

Peculiarities of the MBE growth technology for the Dirac’s semimetal based on the Hg1-x Cdx Te alloys have been presented. Composition of layers was controlled by ToF-SIMS, FTIR measurements, and by the E1+Δ1 maximum position of optical reflectivity in visible reason. The surface morphology has by determined via atomic force and electron microscopy.

Highlights

  • Since 1958 the HgCdTe alloys are main material for infrared devices [1]

  • The Topological Insulators (TI) based on the HgCdTe became actual in 3D case [3]

  • In this short communication is presented peculiarity of the MBE technology designed to the strong TI producing based on semi-metallic Hg1-xCdxTe Te with x≤ 0.16 what is semimetal yet but close to the 3D Dirac point

Summary

Introduction

In last decade (from 2007 [2]]) a new property of this material, namely, inverted band structure caused by strong spin-orbital interaction, forms a new opportunity for this material – possibility to produce topological phase on surface By this way, the Topological Insulators (TI) based on the HgCdTe became actual in 3D case [3]. The Topological Insulators (TI) based on the HgCdTe became actual in 3D case [3] In this short communication is presented peculiarity of the MBE technology designed to the strong TI producing based on semi-metallic Hg1-xCdxTe Te with x≤ 0.16 what is semimetal yet but close to the 3D Dirac point
