Abstract

We demonstrate here that bilayer films consisting of Si and transition metals with a layer thickness of 15-40 nm are promising materials for archival optical storage. They show a large optical reflectivity change before and after silicide formation, have a long lifetime at room temperature, and are nontoxic.
