Abstract

The first magneto—transport data taken on thin pseudomorphic FeSi films with the CsCl structure are presented. FeSi appears to be a Kondo system with a Kondo temperature of TK ∼ 15 K. On air-exposed films which have not been protected by a Si-cap an ultrathin magnetic oxide is formed leading to large anomalies in the Hall effect and the magnetoresistance as the film thickness approaches 20 Å.
