Abstract: Creating and controlling the topological properties of two-dimensional topological insulators is essential for spintronic device applications. Here, we report the successful growth of bismuth homostructure consisting of monolayer bismuthene and single-layer black phosphorus-like Bi (BP-Bi) on the HOPG surface. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy with noncontact atomic force microscopy, moiré superstructures with twist angles in the bismuth homostructure and the modulation of topological edge states of bismuthene were observed and studied. First-principles calculations reproduced the moiré superlattice and indicated that the structure fluctuation is ascribed to the stacking modes between bismuthene and BP-Bi, which induce spatially distributed interface interactions in the bismuth homostructure. The modulation of topological edge states is directly related to the variation of interlayer interactions. Our results suggest a promising pathway to tailor the topological states through interfacial interactions. © 2020 The Authors.
