Abstract
We investigate the feasibility of the epitaxial growth of a three-dimensional semiconductor on a two-dimensional substrate. In particular, we report for the first time the molecular beam epitaxy growth of cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum wells on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The presence of the quantum wells is confirmed by photoluminescence measurements conducted at helium temperatures. Growth of the quantum wells on two-dimensional, almost perfectly flat hBN appears to be very different from growth on bulk substrates; in particular, it requires 70-100 °C lower temperatures.
