AbstractWe have studied the effect of laser irradiation on Te-Se-Br thin films. The major effects were found to be dominated by changes in composition because of the complete loss of Br and variable loss of Se. These losses are measured by EIDS and are reasonable in view of the temperatures obtained from a heat flow calculation. The remaining Te-Se material can be made crystalline under specific conditions of laser pulse length and laser power (which determine the cooling rate). We have been able to establish that the crystallization starts with surface filamentary growth exhibiting fractal network formation. With higher laser energy it tends to coalesce to form three dimensional crystals.

In the present work we have studied an extension of the classical thermal rectification, arising in certain cases from the contact of two dissimilar bulk materials with different temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity, to the Si-Ge system when boundary scattering effects are taken into account. Moreover, the directionality of the in-plane heat flow in a Si plate can be achieved by tuning the thickness and the impurity concentration along the cross section of the plate. We have designed several potential structures with this function in mind and discussed the physics behind.
