Nucleation and growth of ultrathin Bi films

Ultrathin Bi films have attracted substantial attention as promising candidates for two-dimensional topological insulators. The nucleation and growth of ultrathin Bi films on various substrates are reviewed, while the focus is on the Si(111) substrates in this article. During film growth, the Si sub...
