We investigated the dependence of the magnetic response from epitaxial Si-rich iron-silicide
nanostructures on their geometry. By varying substrate orientation and deposition …

Self-organized transition-metal (Ni and Fe) and rare-earth (Er) silicide nanostructures were
grown on Si (1 1 1) and Si (0 0 1) surfaces under low coverage conditions, in a “solid phase” …

The deposition of several monolayers of cobalt on germanium (001) substrates results in the
formation of two types of clusters: flat-topped and peaked nanocrystals. Scanning tunneling …

We report on self-organized solid-phase epitaxially grown Ti-and Co-silicide nanoislands
ordered along step-bunch edges of a vicinal Si (111) surface, as a function of the initial …

In this work, shapes and shape transitions of several types of self-assembled heteroepitaxial
nanostructures, as observed in in situ scanning tunneling microscopy experiments during …

Titanium (Ti) silicide formed by evaporation of Ti onto Si surfaces is employed as a gate
electrode for MOS devices. In order to elucidate the structure of Ti silicide grown at high …

The aim of this work was to explore self-organizational tendencies of transition-metal silicide
nanoislands formed by heteroepitaxial self-assembled processes, such as CoxSiy/Si …

Extending electronic devices beyond the limitations of current micro-electronics
manufacturing will require detailed knowledge of how to make contacts to semiconductor …

Formation processes of titanium silicide on hydrogen-terminated H/Si (001)-2× 1 surface are
studied at the atomic scale with a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Square-shaped …

A custom-built multiple probe scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to perform
measurements of the surface conductivity of Si (111)-7× 7 and H–Si (111)-1× 1 surfaces …
