Abstract

The [(BiSe)1+δ]1(VSe2)1 heterostructure was characterized structurally and electrically to determine the effects of interlayer interaction on the charge density wave (CDW) found in VSe2 and compared to previously reported [(SnSe)1.15]1(VSe2)1. Out-of-plane x-ray diffraction scans contain reflections that can be indexed as 00l reflections of a BiSe–VSe2 supercell. Structure refinement indicates that the VSe2 layer is very similar structurally to that found in [(SnSe)1.15]1(VSe2)1. Scanning transmission electron microscopy images show a turbostratically disordered layer structure and the formation of anti-phase boundaries in the BiSe bilayer. The [(BiSe)1+δ]1(VSe2)1 heterostructure is metallic with a negative Hall coefficient, in contrast to the positive Hall coefficient found for [(SnSe)1.15]1(VSe2)1. The CDW found [(SnSe)1.15]1(VSe2)1 is not present in [(BiSe)1+δ]1(VSe2)1. This work illustrates the importance of inter constituent interactions in determining the transport properties of single layer films.
