Analyzing their Fe57 Mossbauer spectra, we can discuss the site occupation of Fe atoms in the films grown directly on a semiconductor substrate, where the influence of the interfacial reactions between Fe 3Si or Fe 3.2Si 0.8 and Ge on the Mossbauer spectra is minimized. As a result, we can quantitatively obtain the local degree of the D0 3 ordering (?67%) for the as-grown stoichiometric films, whereas we can not see the structural ordering for the as-grown off-stoichiometric films. Comparing the analytic data between as-grown and annealed films, we find that the postannealing can act effectively on the improvement of the structural ordering only for the off-stoichiometric films., application/pdf}, pages = {144411-1--144411-6}, title = {Local structural ordering in low-temperature-grown epitaxial Fe3+x Si1-x films on Ge(111)}, volume = {83}, year = {2011} }
