In this paper, we review the detailed study of epitaxial growth of β-FeSi2 films by reactive
deposition epitaxy (RDE), multilayer technique and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The p …

We studied the optical absorption, polarized reflectance (PR) and photoluminescence (PL)
of β-FeSi2 single crystals grown from solution. In low-absorption measurements, we found a …

This article explains some recent studies on a mechanism of luminescence from β-FeSi2
and its applications to optoelectronics and photonics. A luminescence at 0.805 eV (ie the A …

Vacuum electron-beam coevaporation of Fe and Si followed by annealing in N2 ambient is
used to synthesize beta iron disilicide (β-FeSi2) nanocrystals. The reason for β-FeSi2 …

Trigonal Fe2Si nanosheets, which are promising candidates for spintronic nanodevices,
were synthesized at the Fe/amorphous (a-) SiO x thin film interface using electron irradiation …

Si/β-FeSi2/Si (SFS) heterostructures were grown epitaxially on Si (001) by reactive
deposition epitaxy (RDE) for β-FeSi2 and by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for Si. Distinct …

The atomistic interface structure between β-FeSi 2 and Si substrate was investigated by
cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy and density functional theory …

Highly [110]∕[101]-oriented semiconducting iron disilicide β-FeSi 2 continuous films were
grown on Si (111) by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) using a β-FeSi 2 epitaxial template …
