Binary systems of Pt-Si were prepared by focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID) using the two precursors MeCpPt(Me)3 and Si(SiH3)4 simultaneously. This new approach for the preparation of binary systems with FEBID allows for the variation of the relative flux of the two precursors during deposition. The composites which contain Pt, Si, C and O in different ratios were analyzed by means of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, electrical transport measurements, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show strong evidence for the formation of an amorphous, metastable Pt2Si3 phase, leading to a maximum of the conductivity for a Si:Pt ratio of 3:2.[1] For the stoichiometric proportion of Si:Pt = 3:2 theoretical simulations applying an evolutionary algorithm (USPEX) predict the formation of Pt2Si3 layers separated by graphene-like planes. Micro-Raman measurements will be presented to experimentally study the Pt, Si, C and O structural configuration.
