Abstract :
Ultrathin magnetic films of transition metal silicides are perspective for spintronics. In this work we have studied formation of Fe3Si and Co3Si films on Si(100)2×1 by the solid phase epitaxy. The experiments were performed in ultra-high vacuum using photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. Correlations are found out between changes of the phase composition of synthesized films and their magnetic properties.
