This work reports a discussion about of the general theory for phase transformations of Melh-Johnson-Avrami-Kolmogorov in process involving non-isothermal crystallization. This model allows determine as occurs the mechanism of the nucleus formation and of growth of crystalline phases during the crystallization process. To demonstrate the validity this theory, the Avrami exponent (n) of the LiO2-TeO2-WO3 vitreous system was determined from DSC non-isothermal measurements. The obtained results indicate that the nucleation process is volumetric with two-dimensional or three-dimensional crystal growth. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30609/JETI.2018-2.5566

ABSTRACTThe configurations of misfit dislocations in In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs(001) hetero structures grown on slightly misoriented substrates was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Layers 6 nm, 20 nm and 40 nm thick were grown by MBE. The substrate was tilted in [110], [110], [120], [210] and [010] directions at angles between 0° and 10°. Only in the 40 nm thick layers networks of 60° and 90° dislocations were formed. Misfit dislocations were found at the interface in <110> directions. In the substrate tilting range between 0° and 4° the changes in dislocation density can be explained by the differentcharacter of α and β dislocations. For a substrate tilting above 6° the different dislocation sets show an increased anisotropy. The misfit dislocations at the interface were decorated by In atoms. The influence of three-dimensional crystal growth on increasing surface roughness is discussed.
