ABSTRACTBoth the crystal nucleation rate and the crystal growth velocity of sputtered amorphous Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29 and Ge4Sb1Te5 thin films used for optical data storage were determined as a function of temperature. Crystals were directly observed using ex-situ atomic force microscopy, and their change in size after each anneal was measured. Between 140°C and 185°C, these materials exhibited similar crystal growth characteristics, but differed in their crystal nucleation characteristics. These observations provide an explanation for the different re-crystallization mechanisms observed upon laser-induced crystallization of amorphous marks.

Atomic force microscopy has been used to determine the surface crystal growth of two isostructural metal-organic frameworks, [Zn2(ndc)2(dabco)] (ndc = 1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylate, dabco = 4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) (1) and [Cu2(ndc)2(dabco)] (2) from...
