Popis: Iron disilicide thin films are prepared on fused quartz using femtosecond laser deposition (FsPLD) with a FeSi2 alloy target. X-ray diffraction results indicate the films are single-phase, orthorhombic, β-FeSi2. Field scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, UV–VIS–NIR spectroscopy and Raman microscope are used to characterize the structure, composition, and optical properties of the β-FeSi2 films. Normal incidence spectral transmittance and reflectance data indicate a minimum, direct energy gap of 0.85 eV. The two most intense lines of Raman scattering peaked at 181.3 cm−1 and 235.6 cm−1 for the film on fused quartz, and at 191.2 cm−1 and 243.8 cm−1 for the film on Si (100), are observed.
