Mn2In2Se5 Thin Films Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Here, we report the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of Mn2In2Se5, a spin glass material with high level of magnetic frustration, through the heterointegration of MnSe on In2Se3. Directly depositing α-MnSe on the vdW In2Se3 layers results in Mn intercalation, transforming the In2Se3 layer into Mn2In2Se5. Large growth windows, including substrate temperatures from 250-450 °C and Se:sMn flux ratio of 1.1-3.1, have been identified for the intercalation process. With an optimized MnSe deposition time, smooth, single-crystalline, and (0001)-oriented Mn2In2Se5 layers with a root-mean-square (RMS) roughness of 1.5 nm can be synthesized.
