الوصف: | We present a systematic investigation of the edge states of two-dimensional {\alpha}-bismuthene ({\alpha}-Bi) structures self-assembled on HOPG substrates, using scanning tunnelling microscopy and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy. The measurements are carried out for 3ML, 5ML and 7ML thick Bi structures. Our spectroscopy studies reveal clear features at the edges of the 5ML and 7ML thick structures, and the positions of the edge states (ESs) coincide with the topographical step edges. In contrast, in 3ML structures the ESs appear to be absent and instead new states are sometimes observed, far from the topographical edge. These states are associated with a moir\'e pattern and result from strain-induced modulation of the topology. Our observations demonstrate the impact on the edge states of coupling to adjacent structures. Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures |
