Abstract:The band structures of two-monolayer Bi(110) films on black phosphorus substrates are studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Within the band gap of bulk black phosphorus, the electronic states near the Fermi level are dominated by the Bi(110) film. The band dispersions revealed by our data suggest that the orientation of the Bi(110) film is aligned with the black phosphorus substrate. The electronic structures of the Bi(110) film strongly deviate from the band calculations of the free-standing Bi(110) film, suggesting that the substrate can significantly affect the electronic states in the Bi(110) film. Our data show that there are no non-trivial electronic states in Bi(110) films grown on black phosphorus substrates.
