In spite of numerous advantageous properties of silicides, magnetic properties are not
among them. Here, the magnetic properties of epitaxial binary silicide nanostructures are …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism have
gathered tremendous interest as promising candidates for next-generation spintronics. Here …

We report on a study of the Co intercalation process underneath the $(6\sqrt {3}\times 6\sqrt
{3}) $ R30 reconstructed 6H-SiC (0001) surface for Co film-thicknesses in a range of 0.4–12 …

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

A pure crystallogeometrical approach is proposed for predicting orientation relationships,
habit planes and atomic structures of the interfaces between phases, which is applicable to …

The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem establishes a basis for mapping the exact energy functional
to a model one provided that their charge densities coincide. We suggest to use a mapping …

Magnetism has recently been observed in nominally nonmagnetic iron disilicide in the form
of epitaxial γ-FeSi2 nanostructures on Si (111) substrate. To explore the origin of the …

In the present work, we explored the interplay between the lattice and magnetic degrees of
freedom in a rare-earth nickelate EuNiO 3, by carrying out temperature-dependent structural …

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” …

Abstract Iron disilicide (α-FeSi 2) is one of the promising materials for building ohmic
contacts over silicon substrates. Complex approaches have been used to synthesize this …
