The heating rate dependence of the phase transition temperature wasformulated based on the temperature dependence of nucleation of a new phase.The glass transition temperature of a-Si was explained in terms of van derWaals fluid of a-Si pseudo-Molecules which are produced by the fragmentationof continuous random networks of Si atoms. Transient phases and theirtransition temperatures as a function of the heating rate are summarized inthe phase diagram.
