CrSi2 crystal - March 2017


SEM image of hexagonal crystals of CrSi2 (size ~ 3?m), nucleated on a silicon substrate (111) by the CVD technique. This work is part of an experimental study of synthesis of CrSi2 nanowires for thermoelectric applications (Colorized micrograph).





About the author: Yichen LI, student from Sun Yat-Sen University, completes a master 2 internship on the synthesis of CrSi2 nanowires in the TOP group.
