A sample with the configuration Si (111)/single crystalline Pd2Si/polycrystalline Pd2Si/Pd is used to study the dominant moving species during subsequent Pd2Si formation by annealing at 275 °C. The interface between monocrystalline and polycrystalline Pd2Si is used as a marker to monitor the dominant moving species. The result shows that Pd is the dominant moving species in the monocrystal. off

By “moving species” we mean the species that moves with respect to an inert marker (see Ref. 2).
2.
By “inert marker” we mean that a marker is fixed to the silicide lattice during the reaction and that does not interfere with the reaction processes.
