The dynamic behavior of continuous wave (cw) laser-induced crystallization in the a-Si:H film on a quartz substrate is studied by light scattering. Microcrystals of dimensions less than 30 Å could be grown in a stable state and it is demonstrated that the surface-to-volume correction is essential for estimating the frequency of the crystallinelike mode. It is suggested that bulk-induced crystallization may be responsible for the formation of very small crystallites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
