Abstract
Ferromagnetic single-crystal epitaxial Fe3Si films and polycrystalline Fe5Si3 films are obtained on Si substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy with in situ control of the structure, optical, and magnetic properties. The results of the structural, magnetic, and optical measurements are discussed. The experimental data are compared to the results of the microscopic calculation of the spin-polarized structure, the permittivity, and the optical conductivity spectra.
