Abstract

This paper presents an improved new method for studying the dynamics of laser induced phase transitions down to the submicron-nanosecond scale by means of a modified commercial Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) /1/. Results on Pulsed Laser Annealing (PLA) of amorphous Germanium and a-Si/Al films are described. Potential applications and limits of this method are briefly discussed.
