Abstract

Epitaxial α-Fe films have been grown on Si(111) substrates at 30 and 320°C by electron beam evaporation in an ultra high vacuum environment to a thickness between a few hundred and several thousand Angstroms. Conventional θ – 2θ x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy show that the α-Fe films are oriented with the Fe(1ll) plane parallel to the Si(111) plane and with the Fe[110] direction parallel to the Si[110] direction in the plane of the substrate.
