Physical and chemical properties of iron disilicide

Iron disilicide FeSi2 powder overview

The chemical form of iron disilicide is FeSi2, which is an intermetallic compound, a kind of iron silicide, which exists as a rare mineral in nature. Forms rhombohedral crystals (β phase) at room temperature, and transforms into tetragonal α phase when heated to 970 °C. Iron disilicide is gray powder, odorless, square, and insoluble in water. Iron disilicide (FeSi2) is a semiconductor material with a direct band gap (0.85-0.87 eV), with high optical absorption coefficient, high Seebeck coefficient, high operating temperature and high oxidation resistance.
