THE PREPARATION AND CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF AMORPHOUS NICKEL - PHOSPHORUS THIN FILMS.

摘要

Flash evaporation was used to produce homogeneous amorphous nickel-phosphorus alloy thin films. The amorphous to crystalline transformation in these thin films was observed by electron microscopy and found to proceed,depending on composition,either by crystallite coarsening (87.6wt. % Ni) or nucleation and growth (85.1and 85wt. % Ni). One composition (85.1wt. % Ni) was observed to crystallize dendritically. (Author)
