Using reduction to prove that a given language is not recursively enumerable
Assume that $L$ is recursively enumerable. We can reduce the Halting problem to $L$ as following. Given $\langle M, w \rangle$, create a TM $M'$ which halts only on the input $w$, and infinitely loops if the input is different from $w$. Clearly $L(M') = \{w\}$ and $L(M) \cap L(M') = \emptyset \iff \langle M,M' \rangle \in L \iff \langle M, w \rangle \notin HALT$. This shows that $\overline{HALT}$ is recursively enumerable. Since $HALT$ is also r.e. it follows that $HALT$ is decidable which is impossible. Thus $L$ is not recursively enumerable.

$HALT = \{\langle M, w \rangle \mid M \text{ is a TM and } M \text{ halts on input } w \}$.
