Reactive epitaxial growth of MnSi ultrathin films on Si(111) by Mn deposition (Art.No.205312 )

Abstract

Growth of MnSi on Si(111) is studied by STM, LEED and AES. Way of preparing surface coherently covered by flat MnSi is reported.

Observed growth mode is explained by balance between Mn and Si.
