AbstractCharacteristics of beam-recrystallized Si-on-insulator (SOT) and Ge-on-insulator (GOI) material systems are compared for the first time to gain complementary understanding of the crystallization mechanism that would benefit both systems. In general, GOI has been found to behave quite differently from SOI. In SOI, Si yields sub-boundaries; in GOI, Ge generates twinned or faceted crystals. In GOI, too, sub-boundary-like features were observed, but only occasionally in the midst of twinned crystals. Also observed in GOI was the phenomenon of seeded crystallization breakdown, where defect-free crystals from the seed abruptly turn into defect-laced crystals at a certain distance from the seed. This phenomenon is highly characteristic in SOI, but has never been reported for GOI. These findings are compared and discussed in light of the traditional understanding of crystal growth.

Single crystals of LiNa5Mo9O30 with seeds in the a-, b- and c-directions were successfully grown using the TSSG method. Full sets of dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric matrices of the crystal were determined first time. The octahedral distortion and dipole moment are calculated to explain the piezoelectric properties.

ABSTRACTWe studied the crystallization mechanism of ultra-fast phase change optical disks with recording layers made of GaSb material for digital versatile disk (DVD) systems. The results of a static recording test and an amorphous mark formation simulation suggest that GaSb maintains a high crystal growth rate even at temperatures 150 degrees lower than the material's melting point. Disks with recording layers made of this material have a write speed margin ranging from DVD 3× to 8× or more.

C60fullerene nanofibers (FNFs) were for the first time prepared by a volatile diffusion method using toluene as solvent and isopropyl alcohol as precipitation agent in room temperature, 25°C. FNFs with different lengths, aspect ratios, and morphologies could be fabricated by changing incubation time. Meanwhile, as for a crystal growth process, a possible mechanism of the formation of the crystal of FNFs was proposed in which the short and thin FNFs are the result of crystal growth, and self-assembly happens between the short fibers and thus leads to the formation of thick and long bundles of the FNFs.

ABSTRACTThe effect of an electric field on germanium-seeded lateral crystallization of a-Si is studied for the first time and compared to this effect in Ni-induced lateral growth. While the crystallization rate is lower when Ge is used as the nucleation seed and annealing should be done at higher temperatures, filed-aided crystallization shows a similar behavior to that observed for Ni-induced crystallization. Optical microscopy results indicate that grain growth starting from the negative electrode occurs in Si films at annealing temperatures higher than 480°C, while the applied electric field ranges form 200 to 1400V/cm. SEM was also used to confirm the crystallinity of the films.

The crystal growth kinetics in the deeply undercooled Zr50Cu50 melt was studied with the electromagnetic levitation technique. The maximum growth rate umax was, for the first time, demonstrated in undercooled metal and alloy melts, and this allowed us to construct the complete profile of crystal growth kinetics in the whole undercooling region of Zr50Cu50 melt. In deep undercooling region near glass transition, the diffusion-controlled crystal growth mechanism accounted for the growth kinetics, while at lower undercooling the profile around umax remarkably differed from what the classical growth theory covers.
