Abstract Atomically flat thin films of topological semimetal Na3Bi are grown on double-layer graphene formed on 6H–SiC(0001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. By combined techniques of molecular beam epitaxy, scanning tunneling microscopy and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, the growth conditions for Na3Bi thin films on double-layer graphene are successfully established. The band structure of Na3Bi grown on graphene is mapped along Γ–M and Γ– K directions. Furthermore, the energy band of Na3Bi at higher energy is uncovered by doping Cs atoms on the surface.
