X-ray diffraction reveals the perfect crystallinity of GaSe with the c-axis normal to the substrate surface. The samples grown under Ga rich conditions possess an additional gallium film on top of the monochalcogenide layer. This metallic film shows two normal-to-superconducting transitions which are detected at T c ≈ 1.1 K and 6.0 K. They correspond likely to the β and α-phases of gallium in the form of bulk and droplets respectively. Our results demonstrate that van der Waals epitaxy can lead to future high quality hybrid superconductor/monochalcogenide heterostructures. |
