Abstract

In a previous paper, Singh and Murr described the vapor-liquidsolid phase growth of Sn thin films according to the conventions originally outlined by Semenov and Komnik. More recently, Singh and Murr also quantitatively outlined the nucleation and growth characteristics of vapor-deposited Sn thin films and concluded that the results were indicative of a recrystallization process involving the supercooling of liquid drops as described earlier by Takagi.The present study involves a rigorous examination of the nature of the solidified liquid-like Sn clusters following vapor deposition onto air-cleaved NaCl (001) substrates for the condition Ts≥2/3Tm; where Ts and Tm are the substrate temperature and the melting temperature of the Sn in °K respectively.
