Phase selection in the rare earth silicides

C Eames, M Reakes, SP Tear, TCQ Noakes… - Physical Review B …, 2010 - APS
The rare earth silicides form islands with a tetragonal or a hexagonal structure that coexist
when grown on the Si (100) surface. We show using medium energy ion scattering that it is …
