Metastable and equilibrium structures in semiconducting silicides

The low temperature form of the iron disilicide (P-FeSi2) phase has been widely shown to be a promising material for Si-based opto-electronics devices due to its direct band gap (0.87 eV). These materials can be easily produced using a wide range of techniques. This work focuses on two techniques th...
