Abstract
The structural and electronic properties of FeSe ultrathin layers on have been investigated with a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The FeSe multilayers, which are predominantly 3–5 monolayers (MLs) thick, exhibit a hole pocket-like electron band at and a dumbbell-like feature at , similar to multilayers of FeSe on . Moreover, the topological state of the is preserved beneath the FeSe layer, as indicated by a heavily n-doped Dirac cone. Low temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy does not exhibit a superconducting gap for any investigated thickness down to a temperature of 5 K.
