The morphology and structure of iron silicide nanorods formed on Si (111) vicinal surface by the SPE method at T = 630 °C were studied. Optimal Fe coverage and Fe deposition rate for the formation of a dense array of the nanorods (54-65% of the substrate area) on Si (111) surface with 3-4o miscut angles were established. The aspect ratio of the nanorods is 1.9 – 3.3. Cross-sectional images of a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) have shown that the nanorods have α-FeSi2 crystal structure. They are strained along the “a” axis and stretched along the “c” axis, which increased the unit cell volume by 10.3%. According to HRTEM image analysis, the nanorods have the following epitaxial relationships: α-FeSi2[01]//Si [10] and α-FeSi2(112)//Si (111). All the data obtained have provided, for the first time, a direct evidence of α-FeSi2 nanorods formation on Si (111) vicinal surface without noticeable penetration of Fe atoms into the Si substrate.

ABSTRACTIon implantation of Ti into LINbO3 has been shown to be an effective means of producing optical waveguides, while maintaining better control over the resulting concentration profile of the dopant than can be achieved by in-diffusion. While undoped, amorphous LiNbO3 can be regrown by solid-phase epitaxy at 400°C with a regrowth velocity of 250 Å/min, the higher concentrations of Ti required to form a waveguide (∼10%) slow the regrowth considerably, so that temperatures approaching 800°C are used. Complete removal of residual damage requires annealing temperatures of 1000°C, not significantly lower than those used with in-diffusion. Solid phase epitaxy of Agimplanted LiNbO3, however, occurs at much lower temperatures. The regrowth is completed at 400°C, and annealing of all residual damage occurs at or below 800°C. Furthermore, the regrowth rate is independent of Ag concentration up to the highest dose implanted to date, 1 × 1017 Ag/cm2. The usefulness of Ag implantation for the formation of optical waveguides is limited, however, by the higher mobility of Ag at the annealing temperature, compared to Ti.
