   Abstract:
   Co-evaporated amorphous WSi₂, NiSi₂, Pd₄Si and Pd₂Si were readily crystallized by e-beam annealing via solid-state phase transformation. Tetragonal WSi₂, CaF₂ type NiSi₂ and metastable phase II Pd₄Si are identified. When annealed by a laser beam, Pd-rich materials may melt and solidify back into the amorphous state due to fast quenching effect
