ABSTRACTWe present an overview of the theory developed over the last few years to describe the crystallization of amorphous solids. The microstructure of the crystallizing solid is described in terms of the grain size distribution (GSD). We propose a partial differential equation that captures the physics of crystallization in random nucleation and growth processes. The analytic description is derived for isotropic and anisotropic growth rates and allows for the analysis of different stages of crystallization, from early to full crystallization. We show how the timedependence of effective nucleation and growth rates affect the final distribution. In particular, we demonstrate that for cases described by the Kolmogorov-Avrami-Mehl-Johnson (KAMJ) model applicable to a large class of crystallization processes a lognormal type distribution is obtained at full crystallization. The application of the theory to the crystallization of silicon thin films is discussed.

Abstract Expressions for the nucleation and growth rates for condensed particles in a heterogeneous reaction of a definite kind have been derived, which allows the kinetics of the formation of the condensed phase in some complex systems to be described. Methods of the classical nucleation theory and an assumption about the reaction development mechanism were used.
