Extract

A substantial research effort has been devoted to the growth of metals on semiconductors [1], motivated in part by the necessity of electrical contacts and interconnects in semiconducting devices and by the possibility of new physical phenomena and devices derived from the combination of electronic properties of the two materials. Semimetals provide an alternative for applications involving electrical contact, for which their unique transport, optical, and nonlinear properties make them attractive in hybrid devices.
