摘要：
Ultrashort pulsed laser irradiation is used to crystallize 100-nm amorphous-si I icon (a-Si) films. The crystallization process is observed by time-resolved pump-and-probe reflection imaging in the range of 0.2 ps to 100 ns. The in-situ images, in conjunction with postprocessed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) mapping of the crystallized structure, provide evidence for nonthermal ultra-fast phase transition and subsequent surface-initiated crystallization.
