The Importance of Thickness to the Crystallization of Amorphous thin Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The crystallization of an amorphous thin film, when it is annealed, can be described in terms of the latent heat of the transformation and an activation energy which depends upon the configurational entropy of the surface of the crystallizing interface. An expression is derived for anatase, the low temperature form of titanium oxide, which is consistent with the growth that is observed.
