| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied the structure of ultrathin films such as topological or superconducting materials by surface X-ray diffraction.
We obtained a thickness dependence of surface and interface structures in Bi2Se3 ultrathin films of 1, 2 and 3QL(Quintuple Layer) formed on Si substrate, and found that the structural parameters approach to those of bulk crystals as the thickness increases.
The atomic structure of a superconducting atomic sheet of indium grown on a Si(111) surface, i.e., In/Si(111)-√7x√3-In, was determined with the aid of low-energy electron diffraction. The structure consists of double layers of In atoms with a rectangular arrangement, verifying a theoretical prediction.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
表面や界面は周囲の環境がバルクの中とは異なることから、超薄膜ではバルクでは発現しない機能を有するデバイスを開発できる可能性があり、超薄膜に関する研究が盛んに行われている。本研究では、バルクの構造解析で実績のあるＸ線回折法を高度に進展させた表面Ｘ線回折法により、超薄膜の構造決定を通して機能発現の起源を理解し、さらに高機能省エネルギーデバイスの開発に寄与する。
