Electronic structure of Bi nanolines on InAs(100)
Original language description
Self-assembled nanolines are attractive to build the technological devices of next generation, but characterizing their electronic properties is often difficult to achieve. In this work we employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory to clarify the electronic structure exhibited by self-assembled Bi nanolines grown on the InAs(100) surface. A surface resonance associated to the reconstructed ζ(4 × 2) surface is visible in the photoemission spectra before and after the formation of the Bi nanolines. This demonstrates that Bi deposition does not necessarily drive a transition to an unreconstructed surface in the substrate, which is contrary to what was reported in previous studies. In addition, experiment and theory show the presence of a flat band located in the band gap of InAs, just above the valence band maximum. This flat band is associated to the Bi nanolines and possesses a strong orbital character, consistent with its unidimensional nature. These spectral features suggest that Bi nanolines on InAs(100) may have a strongly polarized conductivity, which makes them suitable to be exploited as nanowires in nanotechnology. The coexistence with an accumulation layer suggests an even farther functionalization.
