Abstract

The crystallization of amorphous surface layers produced by ion implantation of single-crystal α-Al2O3 and CaTiO3 are discussed. During annealing, amorphous A12O3 converts first to the α-phase. The crystallized γ then transforms to the a-phase by the motion of a well-defined planar interface. The temperature dependence of the velocity of the γ/α interface has been measured and is characterized by an activation energy of ∼3.6 eV. In CaTiO3, crystallization of the amorphous phase takes place by solid-phase epitaxy. The velocity of the amorphous/crystal interface is characterized by an activation energy of 1.3 eV.
