AbstractThe paper introduces a 3D model to simulate the recrystallization microstructure of amorphous Si induced by pulsed laser irradiation. The computer simulation shows how the microstructure is modified when introducing into the model the assumption of rapid solidification quenching.

ABSTRACTWe report time-resolved X-ray absorption and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements on amorphous silicon under nanosecond pulsed-laser irradiation. Each measurement was performed with one laser shot in the X-ray energy range from 90 to 300 eV. An X-ray absorption spectrum for induced liquid Si (liq*Si) was first observed above an energy density of 0.17 J/cm2. It differs significantly from the spectrum for amorphous Si and characteristically shows the disappearance of the Si-L(II,III) edge structure at around 100 eV. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of a significant reduction in the 3s-like character of the unfilled part of the conduction band of liq*Si compared to that of amorphous Si. This is the first direct evidence that liq*Si has a metallic-like electronic structure. Timeresolved EXAFS results are also discussed briefly.

AbstractCdTe evaporates into Cd and Te atoms under high power, pulsed laser irradiation. The mechanism is different from thermal evaporation where only atomic Cd and molecular Te are formed. The presence of Te atoms is responsible for some unique nucleation processes, such as the epitaxial growth of CdTe on (111) CdTe substrates with either polarity and the enhancement in sticking coefficient in CdTe deposition.
