VBi2Te4 dataset underlying the publication: Phase Separation Prevents the Synthesis of VBi2Te4 by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

This dataset contains the collection of experimental data on attempts to deposit VBi2Te4 by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The data is published in:
Altena M., Jansen T., Tsvetanova M., Brinkman A. Nanomaterials 2023

The published data covers samples deposited with different vanadium fluxes during the MBE growth, deposited with the following settings:
General:
Substrate: (0001)-Al2O3
Temp_sub = 150C
φBi = 0.0027 Å/s
φTe = 0.072 Å/s

TJ_VBT01 - φV = 1800 C (temperature of the Knudsen cell)
TJ_VBT02 - φV = 1750 C
TJ_VBT03 - φV = 1850 C
TJ_VBT04 - φV = 1900 C
MA_VBT14 - φV = 1800 C, no buffer layer
