We present a comprehensive analysis of the long-range ordered, coverage-dependent phases of Bi epitaxially grown on a Au(111) surface in UHV, from the sub-monolayer (√37×√37)R25.3∘ Kagome lattice up to few-layer Bi(110) thin films. Particular focus is devoted to the sub-monolayer, high-coverage (p×√3) phase, paving the way to its use as a buffer layer for epitaxial growth with tunable geometry and low electronic interaction.
Our work clarifies and expands the current literature reports, specifically on the complex (p×√3) phase. The wide range of analysis techniques used, including Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), Photo-Electron Spectroscopy (XPS, UPS), Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM, STS), and X-ray Standing Waves (XSW), yields an unprecedented understanding of the system’s structural and electronic properties.
