The interfacial resistance between NiSi 2 and n-type doped Si was investigated using
density functional theory calculations with hybrid functionals. We explored the resistance of …

By means of X-ray diffraction, metallography, scanning electron microscopy with energy
dispersive X-ray analysis, and electron probe microanalysis, the constitution of the ternary …

A low-cost purification technique was evaluated on multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si). It consists
of an efficient impurity trapping process involving nanocavities created by plasma immersion …

The present article provides evidence that Fe impurity atoms in silicon can be gathered by
NiSi2 precipitates at temperatures near RT via solid‐state diffusion. Mixtures of silicon and …

Modifications of structural, compositional, and magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe/Si bilayer
films induced by Ar+ ion bombardment have been studied. The films were grown at room …

Phase equilibria and miscibility in the silicon-rich corner of the system Si–Cu–Co were
analyzed in the present work. Powder mixtures of Cu, Co and Si at 1400 C were molten and …

This contribution summarizes recent efforts to apply transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
techniques to recombination-active extended defects present in a low density. In order to …

The present paper provides evidence that Fe can be incorporated into NiSi2 precipitates by
solid-state diffusion. Furthermore, analysis of Si crystals contaminated with Ni and Fe at …
