N2 - Using in situ reflection electron microscopy, transformations of Bi2Se3(0001) surface during In deposition have been studied. We first report the formation of an In-induced surface phase that precedes nucleation and growth of a layered In2Se3 at substrate temperatures around 400 °C. The surface phase nucleates on Bi2Se3(0001) terraces as islands having high In content and a height of 0.4 nm. During continuous In deposition, the area of these islands increases and suppresses Bi2Se3 sublimation from the regions covered by the In-induced surface phase. This locally suppressed sublimation and sublimation-induced ascending motion of Bi2Se3 atomic steps create multilayer triangular star-shaped islands.
