Direct observation of epitaxial islands of Pd2Si on (001) Si

Abstract
The formation of epitaxial islands of Pd2Si is reported on (001) Si. These islands are several microns in dimension and distributed heterogeneously in a fine‐grained layer of the same phase. Crystallographic analysis suggests that they nucleate on {111} Si and then grow parallel to the substrate surface.
