When Si and Fe were directly deposited on the Si substrate, it was difficult to prevent inclusion of FeSi in the grown films. This problem was overcome by forming a CaF2 epitaxial film on Si(111) first, followed by codeposition of Si and Fe to form Fe3Si. Fe3Si films were epitaxially grown on the CaF2 at 400°C. A distinct square-like hysteresis loop was observed at room temperature in the magnetic field dependence of Kerr rotation.
