Abstract

In this paper we want to show by means of Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) techniques that the recrystallization processes taking place on amorphous germanium films irradiated with low-power superimposed ruby laser pulses occur gradually. Furthermore, in implanted α-Ge films the amorphous-crystalline front moves from the surface of the specimen towards the substrate, while the opposite occurs for glow-discharge deposited films. Moreover, electron microscope observations carried out with a double-stage carbon replica technique at different depths in the specimen show that defect migration is one of the competitive mechanisms in low-power laser annealing.
