Abstract
Free-standing dysprosium–silicide nanowires can be formed on Si(001) by self assembly. It is shown that the wires consist of anisotropically strained hexagonal DySi2 with the c axis aligned perpendicular to the wires. The surface is characterized by a 2×1 reconstruction due to the formation of Si dimer chains.
