  • Conference paper
Book cover Selforganization by Nonlinear Irreversible Processes

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 33))

Abstract

Crystallization studies are of interest not only for examining the fundamentals of the involved nucleation and growth processes in some detail, but also for learning to produce novel microstructures by controlled crystallization. Experimental and theoretical investigations of crystallization of amorphous solids show that the formation of metastable crystals occurs as transient or final stages /1,2,3/. These general considerations can be applied to experimental investigations of amorphous carbon films. With a laser plasma, carbon films are deposited on different substrate materials /4/. Depending on deposition conditions, but also as the result of a defined thermal treatment of these layers, diamond and various carbines are obtained as crystalline particles within the amorphous matrix. A similar behaviour can be observed for other carbon films deposited by high-energy beam techniques /5/.
