EXTENDED ABSTRACTWe have deposited the Mössbauer isotope Fe 57 on (111) Si surfaces at room temperature and measured the Mössbauer spectrum using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy for enhanced surface sensitivity. Samples were examined as a function of substrate preparation and thermal anneal. Rutherford backscattering was used to monitor sample preparation. The Fe 57 layers have been coated with natural iron (2.2% Fe 57) or silver to prevent them from oxidizing when exposed to air. The known distinctive Mössbauer spectra of Fe, FeSi, FeSi 2 , Fe in Si, and Si in Fe allows the identification of these phases in the samples.

ABSTRACTFe-sulicides were formed by annealing MBE-deposited thin 57Fe layers with thicknesses between 20 Å and 60 Å on (7x7) reconstructed Si(111) substrates. During the growth the substrate was held at room temperature. The silicide formation upon annealing in the temperature range of 200°C to 900°C was studied in-situ with RH-EED. Samples were studied with in-situ CEMS (Conversion Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy) as well as with ex-situ CEMS after covering with Ag to prevent oxidation. RBS/Channeling was used to study the epitaxial quality and the structure of these layers.Using the 57Fe nuclear probe, it is shown that silicide formation occurs at the interface already at room temperature. Metastable silicides with cubic structure are observed in the low temperature annealing range, and characterized by their Mossbauer parameters. At higher temperatures stable ε-FeSi and β-FeSi2 are formed.

AbstractMÖssbauer spectroscopy is very sensitive to structural transitions that may occur during a phase change of the type known to arise in the shape memory TiNiFe alloy. In this work we present the results of resistance vs temperature, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) measurements in Ti50Ni47Fe3 sample. The resistance vs temperature curve shows the usual sharp increase associated to the B2 → R transition at Tp = 245 K and then raises until a maximum is attained at ∼ 150 K. The DSC curve shows a peak maximum at the same temperature where the resistivity starts to increase. The room temperature Mössbauer spectrum consists of a single line, indicating that the iron atoms have cubic surroundings. As temperature is lowered, a small asymmetric quadrupole doublet begins to develop. The isomer shift (I.S.) and quadrupole splitting (ΔQ) values of this doublet increase with decreasing temperature until almost constant values are achieved at temperatures ∼ 100 K. We relate the changes in the Mössbauer spectra with previously proposed charge density wave induced premartensitic transition.
