SUMMARY:Nano-wires and islands - the structure of rare earth silicides on 
 silicon surfaces - Steve Tear\, Department of Physics\, University of York

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The rare earth silicides offer potential advantages and novel 
 structures over that of transition metal silicides at the interface with s
 ilicon. Several different structures of silicon-rich rare earth silicides 
 are formed on single crystal silicon surfaces: on Si(100)\, nanowires and 
 nanoislands\nare formed\, while on Si(111)\, 2D silicides can be created. 
 In this talk I will present and contrast detailed analysis of the structur
 es of a number of rare earth silicides\, on both Si(100) and Si(111)\, car
 ried out using quantitative medium-energy ion scattering and scanning tunn
 elling microscopy.
