Tailoring the preferable orientation relationship and shape of α-FeSi2 nanocrystals on Si(001): the impact of gold and the Si/Fe flux ratio, and the origin of α/Si boundaries

The growth of α-FeSi2 nanocrystal ensembles on gold-activated and gold-free Si(001) surfaces at different Si/Fe flux ratios via molecular beam epitaxy is reported. The study reveals that the utilisation of gold as a catalyst regulates the preferable orientation relationship (OR) of the nanocrystals...
