Growth of Altermagnetic {\alpha}-MnTe Films: Substrate Variation and Surface Modification

Manganese telluride (MnTe) in its hexagonal {\alpha}-MnTe crystal structure has evolved as one of the altermagnet workhorse materials. The synthesis of MnTe thin films is highly relevant for both fundamental science and device applications. Here, we report on the epitaxial growth of MnTe thin films and heterostructures...
