AbstractWe report and interpret two groups of experiments on the role that hydrogen plays in the formation of silicon microcrystals. We show that the growth of singlecrystal Si by molecular beam epitaxy at 475°C is disrupted by H2, which induces the formation of microcrystals. In crystallization experiments of non-hydrogenated a-Si and of hydrogenated a-Si:H on a hot stage in a transmission electron microscope, hydrogen facilitates the nucleation of crystallites. We explain our observations with a substantial reduction of the grain boundary energy by hydrogen.

The grain growth of dense, fine-grained Nd1+xBa2−xCu3Oy (x = 0.1−0.4) specimens has been examined in pure O2(g) at 938 °C and 967 °C. No detectable change in average grain size was observed for Nd1.4Ba1.6Cu3Oy within 72 h at 967 °C; however, a significant increase in average grain size developed between 18 and 24 h at 967 °C for Nd1.3Ba1.7Cu3Oy, and within 8−12 h at ≤967 °C for Nd1.2Ba1.8Cu3Oy and Nd1.1Ba1.9Cu3Oy. Microstructural analyses revealed that sudden changes in average grain size coincided with the formation of relatively large (abnormal) grains. A broadening of the grain size distribution was also observed. TEM analyses revealed that grain boundaries were free of second phases. The possible role of anisotropy in grain boundary energy and/or mobility on grain growth is discussed.
