Abstract
During AES and EELS investigations of thermal stability of Mg and Mg2Si films it was found that metallic Mg desorbs from the surface at temperatures higher than 80 °C, but the bulk-like Mg2Si film shows a thermal stability up to 180 °C. The maximal thermal stability up to 230 °C was observed for a two-dimensional magnesium silicide with structure (2/3√3×2/3√3)-R30°. A model of its thermal stability based on the peculiarities of the electronic structure of a two-dimensional magnesium silicide with structure (2/3√3×2/3√3)-R30° and on the continuity of 2D film was proposed.
