Abstract

The thermodynamic interrelations of the crystalline (c-sc), amorphous semiconducting (a-sc) and liquid metal (lm) states of Si and Ge, based on the existing thermal data, are reviewed. Then the kinetics of the interfacial processes in the growth of c-sc and a-sc into undercooled lm and the conditions for transition from c-sc to a-sc growth are discussed.
