Pyramidal structural defects in erbium silicide thin films
Pyramidal structural defects, 5–8 μm wide, have been discovered in thin films of epitaxial ErSi2−x formed by annealing thin Er films on Si(001) substrates at temperatures of 500–800 °C. The formation of these defects is not due to oxidation. We propose that they form as a result of the separat...
