Abstract

The growth kinetics and optical properties of thin layers of MnSi1.73 have been studied. MnSi1.73 was formed by thermal reaction (485–570°C) of Mn-Si thin-film couples, through a nucleation-controlled process. MnSi1.73 is semiconducting and the band-gap energy was optically determined using a spectrophotometer and a sample with a single MnSi1.73 layer on a silicon substrate. The value was between 0.78 and 0.83 eV.
