Metastable square Bismuth allotrope oriented by six-fold symmetric mica
Layered bismuth (Bi) has been focused on two Peierls distortion derivatives, i.e., bulk stable β-phase (A7 phase), black phosphorus-like α-phase (A17 phase), and their mutated structures. Metastable structures beyond Peierls distortion system are yet rarely accessible. Here, Bi in square symmetry ( $${C}_{4v}$$ ), called s-Bi, was grown via physical vapor deposition. The co-existence of three 120°-associated s-Bi crystal grains was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. 120°-oriented one-dimensional (1D) nuclei indicate s-Bi heteroepitaxy on six-fold symmetric ( $${C}_{6v}$$ ) mica (001). A subsequent nanorod-like nuclei coalescing could promote a morphology evolution, resulting in triangular or hexagonal nanosheets with the unique triple s-Bi structure suitable for later β-Bi growth. Lattice misfit and strain calculations suggest a supercell match between $$4\times 7$$ s-Bi and $$3\times 3$$ mica (001). This work demonstrates the metastable s-Bi structure via anisotropic heteroepitaxy of $${C}_{4v}$$ s-Bi on $${C}_{6v}$$ mica.
