Notes:
Using in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction analysis and chemical etching it is shown that CdTe grown on Bi layers deposited on CdTe (1¯1¯1¯)B terminated surfaces result in (111)A terminated surfaces. The Bi layers exhibit streaked diffraction patterns with clear Kikuchi lines; this is the first direct evidence for the layer by layer two-dimensional growth of Bi on CdTe by molecular beam epitaxy.
