Silicene, a Si-based analogue of graphene, is predicted to exhibit topological electronic phases with exotic properties capable to revolutionize electronics. In particular, the silicene structure is highly advantageous for spintronics. However, lack of synthetic routes to free-standing and magnetically functionalized silicene compounds prevents experimental corroboration of the predictions. Here we synthesize EuSi2, multilayer silicene intercalated with inherently magnetic Eu atoms, on SrSi2/Si(001) templates. The resulting films are formed by crystallites of two mutually orthogonal orientations. The structure is firmly established with electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The compound EuSi2 exhibits non-trivial magnetic and transport properties. The data are compared with those for EuSi2 films grown on SrSi2/Si(111) templates.
