Abstract
Highly crystalline Y2O2Bi epitaxial thin film with monatomic Bi2- square net layer was grown by newly developed multilayer solid phase epitaxy. High reactivity of the nanometer-scale multilayered precursor enabled efficient formation of single crystalline Y2O2Bi phase with one-step heating. The reductive state of Bi2- square net was observed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The electrical resistivity was one order lower than that of polycrystalline powder in previous study. The magnetotransport showed weak antilocalization effect well fitted by the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka model, exhibiting two-dimensional electronic nature with strong spin-orbit coupling in the Bi2- square net.
