Abstract
Mn4Si7 silicide crystals obtained by the diffusion method were studied using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD-6100) SHIMADZU. As a result of research, 14 peaks were identified in the Mn4Si7 crystal, corresponding to the database (COD-1530134).The size of Mn4Si7 silicide crystals (DDiff) ranged from 6.2 × 10−10 m to 9.1 × 10−8 m, the lattice tension between crystal atoms (εDiff) from 0.31 to 3.71, the dislocation density on the surface (δDiff) varied in the range from 1 × 1011 to 3.2 × 1014. It was found that the degree of crystallization of Mn4Si7 was 9.3 %, and the degree of amorphism reached 90.7 %. It has been established that the degree of crystallization of Mn4Si7 silicides is relatively low due to the fact that the Mn and Si atoms are non-stoichiometrically bonded to each other, and the degree of amorphism is high.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
