摘要：

采用分子束外延（MBE）方法在BaF2（111）衬底上直接外延生长了PbTe薄膜。反射高能电子衍射（RHEED）实时监控的衍射图样揭示了PbTe在BaF2（111）表面由三维生长向二维生长的变化过程。转动对称性的研究结合第一性原理密度泛函理论（DFT）的计算揭示了在富Pb及衬底温度（Tsub）为350℃的生长条件下，得到的PbTe（111）薄膜具有稳定的（2×1）重构表面。PbTe（111）-（2×1）表面覆盖Te膜后，通过300℃的退火处理，重构表面可完全复原，这为大气环境下PbTe薄膜表面结构的保护提供了有效的方法。

Abstract:

PbTe thin films were epitaxially grown on BaF2(111) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In situ characterization by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) revealed a transition of the growth mode from 3D to 2D. Rotational symmetry studies combined with first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that under Pb-rich and 350℃ substrate temperature (Tsub) growth conditions, stable (2×1) reconstructions appear on the PbTe(111) surface. When the surface of PbTe(111)-(2×1) was covered with Te, the stable (2×1) reconstructions could be retrieved under 300℃ annealing. This provides an effective method for the protection of PbTe film surfaces from the atmospheric environment.
