Extract

High energy resolved x-ray emission spectroscopy with variable electron beam excitation is applied for study of solid-phase reactions in the Ir/(111)Si system as a function of annealing temperature. The formation of Ir silicides as a function of depth is studied by measurements of Si L2,3 x-ray emission valence spectra at different electron excitation energies (3–10 keV), and the results are compared with those of Rutherford backscattering.
