Abstract

We calculated orthorhombic-NiSi (010)/Si superstructure. Orthorhombic-NiSi was changed to tetragonal structure to be matched with Si substrate. Eight models were produced by the type of Si substrate. In the case of orthorhombic-NiSi (010)/Si (020)[00-1], it was the most favorable energetically and the shortest of the distance between two superstructures. However, in the case of orthorhombic-NiSi (010)/Si (010)[00-1], it was the most unfavorable energetically and the longest of the distance. The energy and distance of orthorhombic-NiSi (010)/Si superstructure were changed by the coordination number of Ni atom and the bond length of atom-atom at the interface.
