Enhancing silicide formation in Ni/Si(111) by Ag-Si particles at the interface
Abstract Compound formation at a metal/semiconductor interface plays crucial roles in the properties of many material systems. Applications of Ni silicides span numerous areas and have the potential to be used as new functionalities. However, the magnetic properties of ultrathin Ni layers on silicon...
