Abstract
The valence band structure of amorphous and crystalline films of rhenium silicides has been studied by ultrasoft x-ray spectroscopy. A theoretical calculation of the electronic structure of bulk crystals and thin films of ReSi2 and ReSi1.75 was carried out. The experimental L2,3-spectra of silicon show the best correlation with the theoretical calculation for ReSi1.75. The decrease in the density of states at the Fermi level in ReSi1.75 in comparison with ReSi2 testifies that the phase with lack of silicon is more stable than the stoichiometric composition.
