OSTI ID:5002395
The amorphous to crystalline phase transition of Ge in contact with Pb has been extensively investigated in Pb/Ge multilayers. We find that the Ge crystallizes at reduced temperatures in the range of 100-200/degree/C depending on the thickness of the Ge and the Pb. Simultaneously the texture of the Pb improves and the layered structure completely disappears. The basis for the reduction of the crystallization temperature is the enhanced diffusion kinetics at the interface, caused by the adjacent Pb layer. 20 refs., 4 figs.
