  Ternary chalcogenides such as the parkerites and shandites are a broad class
of materials exhibiting rich diversity of transport and magnetic behavior as
well as an array of topological phases including Weyl and Dirac nodes. However,
they remain largely unexplored as high-quality epitaxial thin films. Here, we
report the self-regulated growth of thin films of the strong spin-orbit coupled
superconductor Pd3Bi2Se2 on SrTiO3 by molecular beam epitaxy. Films are found
to grow in a self-regulated fashion, where, in excess Se, the temperature and
relative flux ratio of Pd to Bi controls the formation of Pd3Bi2Se2 due to the
combined volatility of Bi, Se, and Bi-Se bonded phases. The resulting films are
shown to be of high structural quality, the stoichiometry is independent of the
Pd:Bi and Se flux ratio and exhibit a superconducting transition temperature of
800 mK and critical field of 17.7 +/- 0.5 mT, as probed by transport as well as
magnetometry. Understanding and navigating the growth of the chemically and
structurally diverse classes of ternary chalcogenides opens a vast space for
discovering new phenomena as well as enabling new applications.
