摘要
The kinetics of laser pulse-induced crystallization of amorphous Ge films are investigated by time-resolved transmission electron microscopy. Crystallization starts above a threshold energy of approximately equals 4 mu J with a delay of approximately equals 10 ns, decreasing with increasing energy, after the laser pulse and proceeds by spherulitic growth - in 'explosive' films - with approximately equals m/s at the centre and by growth of plates with approximately equals 20 m/s at the edge of the irradiated area. Delays and velocities of crystallization are interpreted with a kinetic model based on nucleation growth and crystallization of a supercooled liquid in a superheated amorphous solid.
