J. Desimoni et Fh. Sanchez, Overview of the Mossbauer results obtained on silicon-rich iron silicide epitaxial phases on Si, HYPER INTER, 122(3-4), 1999, pp. 277-307
Iron silicide phases, grown on or into single-crystals of silicon, can be p
roduced by different techniques as reactive and molecular beam epitaxy, and
ion implantation followed by recrystallisation processes. Different phases
have been obtained depending on the experimental conditions: thickness and
substrate temperature for deposited layers, ion implantation fluence, subs
trate temperature and recrystallisation technique for buried silicides. In
most of these investigations, Mossbauer Effect has been used to provide sho
rt range order information about the system. We present here a summary of t
hese results, which in some cases are compared with those obtained by other
characterisation techniques.
