W. Pitschke et al., HIGH-TEMPERATURE X-RAY-DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF THE CRYSTALLIZATION PROCESS OF THIN AMORPHOUS FILMS WITH THE CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION CRSI2.57, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 349(1-3), 1994, pp. 246-247
The crystallization process of amorphous thin films with the chemical
composition CrSi2.57 has been investigated by means of high temperatur
e X-ray diffractometry. The crystallization of the amorphous as-deposi
ted films takes place in two stages; in the first stage CrSi2 is forme
d and in the second Si, resulting in a two component nano-disperse str
ucture. The results are in agreement with investigations of the thermo
power and the electrical conductivity [5, 6].
