Popis: Reactive deposition epitaxy was used to synthesize thin layers of RexMo1−xSi2 on Si(100). In the case of x=1, ReSi2 layers of excellent crystalline quality have been reported previously [J. E. Mahan, K. M. Geib, G. Y. Robinson, R. G. Long, Y. Xinghua, G. Bai, and M.‐A. Nicolet, Appl. Phys. Lett. 56, 2439 (1990)]. In the case of x=0, however, virtually no alignment of the MoSi2 and the substrate is found, although this silicide is nearly isomorphic to ReSi2. For intermediate values of x, highly epitaxial ternary silicides are obtained, at least for a Mo fraction up to 1/3.
