III-V semiconductor compounds containing Bi, such as InBi, have recently attracted much attention due to predictions of band inversion and topological insulators. The predictions showed that films of InBi could be applicable in quantum computers and at room temperature. The common approach of realizing such a structure, by growing InAsBi films, has not been successful, as the Bi content has been far too low for the properties of interest to emerge. The work presented in this thesis explores an alternative approach to forming the InBi films – with a clean InAs(110) sample as a starting point. Bi is deposited onto the sample via thermal evaporation, keeping the sample at room temperature. If successful, the Bi atoms are believed to undergo an...
