This paper reviews the fundamental concepts and the terminology of wetting. In particular, it
focuses on high temperature wetting phenomena of primary interest to materials scientists …

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 aim of this work was to find the equilibrium shape of titanium silicide nanocrystals,
epitaxially grown on Si (111) in ultrahigh vacuum. To attain the state of equilibrium, the so …

We present the preparation of C54 TiSi2 nanoislands on Si (111) with a method of the
pulsed laser deposition of titanium oxide thin films. The TiO2 thin films with nominal …

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 …

Titanium silicide grows on silicon in a form of discontinuous layers, which is the most serious
obstacle to the formation of high-quality epilayers for VLSI applications. At the same time …

Titanium silicide islands have been formed by the ultrahigh vacuum deposition of thin films
of titanium (< 2 nm) on atomically clean Si (100) substrates followed by annealing to∼ 800 …

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 …
