Popis: The hexagonal phase MoSi2 was grown using MoS2 powder as the source material by the molten salt method. The structural and morphological properties of the resultant silicides are characterized. As a comparison, the structural and compositional characterizations were made for the Mo-silicides grown on a Mo substrate and a Mo-Ti alloy compact. It was revealed that the homogeneity of the chemical composition of the silicides grown using MoS2 is improved, except for the existence of the Si source powders, though a small amount of S remained in the powder. The layered structure of MoS2 with a hexagonal crystalline structure would affect the growth morphology and enhance the formation of the hexagonal MoSi2. A simple growth procedure to fix the crystalline structure using an appropriate starting material under a preferable growth environment is proposed. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2012.55]
