Abstract:

Self-sustained or explosive crystallization results on a-Si and a-Ge are reviewed and compared. cw laser experiments on a-Si allow to follow all the phenomena encountered, and to experimentally measure the crystallization front velocity. The published theories agree well with the experimental results on a-Si. Moreover, a-Ge presents the same behaviour as a-Si, but for a-Si, the high nucleation rate can induce a specific explosive growth.
