Abstract

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