Abstract
The $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ and $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$ single crystals were synthesized by chemical vapour transport (CVT) using iodine as a transporting agent from the commercially available $FeSi_2$ powder. The $FeSi_2$ powder together with iodine were sealed in an evacuated quartz ampoule and the ampoule then being placed in two-zone electrical furnace for growing crystal. The CVT of $FeSi_2$ with iodine yielded $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ and $\alpha$-FeSi$_2$ single crystals at deposition temperature of 750 and $950^{\circ}C$ respectively. The source temperature was $1050^{\circ}C$ in both cases. The crystals of the $\alpha$-FeSi$_2$ phase were typically plate shaped with dimensions of about $10\times 10 \textrm{mm}^2$, whereas the crystals of orthorhombic $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ phase grew predominantly in the fonts of thin needle of about 10 mm in length. The composition of$\alpha$-FeSicrystal determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) resulted in Si-rich $FeSi_{2.58}$ . 57. Furthermore, the CVT $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ crystal was found to be transformed to the high temperature $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$phase above $930^{\circ}C$.
