Abstract  A single crystalline Mg2Si film was formed by solid phase reaction (SPR) of a Si(111) substrate with an Mg overlayer capped with an oxide layer(s), which was enhanced by post annealing from room temperature to 100 ℃ in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The thermal stability of the Mg2Si film was then systematically investigated by post annealing in an oxygen-radical ambient at 300 ℃, 450 ℃ and 650 ℃, respectively. The Mg2Si film stayed stable until the annealing temperature reached 450 ℃ then it transformed into amorphous MgOx attributed to the decomposition of Mg2Si and the oxidization of dissociated Mg.
