Study of material crystallization

In this report the crystallization of several amorphous films grown by the different available deposition techniques will be discussed Different thermal annealing strategies will be described The crystallization speed and thermal stability will be evaluated by considering the variation of the film electrical resistivity as function of time at fixed annealing temperatures andor by following the reflectivity changes as a function of time The activation energy will be determined and discussed in respect to the thermal stability of the amorphous multilayers This deliverable relates to WP2 and in specifically task 22
