PbTe thin films were epitaxially grown on BaF₂(111) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In situ characterization by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) revealed a transition of the growth mode from 3D to 2D. Rotational symmetry studies combined with first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that under Pb-rich and 350℃ substrate temperature (T_sub) growth conditions, stable (2×1) reconstructions appear on the PbTe(111) surface. When the surface of PbTe(111)-(2×1) was covered with Te, the stable (2×1) reconstructions could be retrieved under 300℃ annealing. This provides an effective method for the protection of PbTe film surfaces from the atmospheric environment.
