Melting Temperature and Explosive Crystallization of Amorphous Silicon during Pulsed Laser Irradiation
Abstract
Measurements during pulsed laser irradiation indicate that amorphous Si melts at a temperature 200 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 50 K below the crystalline value. Below energy densities required to melt the amorphous layer fully, the data are interpreted in terms of an explosive crystallization. The initial liquid layer solidifies to form coarse-grained polycrystalline Si. A thin, self-propagating liquid layer travels through the remaining amorphous Si at a velocity of 10-20 m/s, producing fine-grained polycrystalline Si.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
