Description

In situ measurements of the kinetics of the transient θ-Ni2Si phase formation have been obtained by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. A possible mechanism for the transient phase is proposed. It allows to simulate the growth and the consumption of the θ-Ni2Si during the growth of the δ-Ni2Si silicide.
