We have investigated the thin film growth of Bi2Se3 by molecular beam epitaxy. Although two separate evaporation sources of Bi and Se are generally used, we evaporated polycrystalline granular Bi2Se3 from a crucible made of Ta. The deposition was done on the Bi-terminated Si(111) substrate at room temperature followed by postannealing at ~470 K. The evolution of band structure measured by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the layer-by-layer growth of the (111)-oriented Bi2Se3 films.
