We investigated the formation of Pt silicide nanowires on a Si(100) surface using scanning tunnelling microscopy and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. Pt silicide nanowires with a tetragonal Pt 2 Si structure are formed along the step edges of Si(100). Pt-induced c (4 × 2) reconstructions also appear adjacent to the tetragonal Pt 2 Si nanowires. Formation of the Pt 2 Si nanowires is attributed to the anisotropic lattice mismatches between the tetragonal Pt 2 Si structure and Si(100). Scanning tunnelling spectroscopy data show that the nanowires are metallic. The stoichiometry of Pt silicide is confirmed by high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy.
