The crystal structure and epitaxial orientation of self-assembled titanium silicide nanowires (NWs) on Si (111) is determined using transmission electron microdiffraction. The NWs are formed by deposition of similar to1 monolayer Ti on Si(111) at similar to850 degreesC. Type 1 NWs are oriented with long axis along Si and are identified as C49 TiSi2. The most common orientation is C49 [01-3] parallel toparallel to Si [112] and C49 (200) parallel toparallel to Si (2-20), but several other orientations are also found. Type 2 NWs are oriented with long axis along Si and are identified as B27 TiSi, with orientation B27 [02-1] parallel toparallel to Si [111] and B27 (-312) parallel toparallel to Si (22-4) + 4degrees. Most of the NWs are incommensurate and fully strain relaxed. They generally extend below the surface with inclined incoherent interfaces. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
