We report on novel defect-free SiSn/Si heterostructures grown pseudomorphically on Si(001) substrates using temperature-modulated molecular beam epitaxy. This approach results in a sustainable epitaxial growth for SiSn/Si multilayers. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction manifest that SiSn layers possess a diamond lattice structure. X-ray diffraction reveals up to 9.5 at% Sn in the crystal lattice of SiSn layers.
