	  abstract     = {The photoluminescence (PL) at 1.55 μm from
semiconducting β-FeSi2 has attracted a noticeable interest for
silicon-based optoelectronic applications. Moreover, its high optical
absorption coefficient (higher than 105 cm-1 above 1.0 eV) allows this
semiconducting material to be used as photovoltanics devices.
A clear PL spectrum for β-FeSi2 was observed by Cu or Au coating
on Si(001). High-crystal-quality β-FeSi2 with a low-level nonradiative
center was formed on a Cu- or Au- reated Si layer. This method of
deposition can be applied to other materials requiring high crystal
quality.},
