Crystalline semiconductors in the form of thin films are crucial materials for many modern, advanced technologies in fields such as microelectronics, optoelectronics, display technology, and photovoltaic technology. Crystalline semiconductors can be produced at surprisingly low temperatures (as low as 120C) by crystallization of amorphous semicon

Crystalline silicon is a key component in many modern technologies, but can be difficult to produce. Ideally, thin films of crystalline silicon would be created by heating amorphous silicon to the point of crystallization (800 °C), but at this high temperature many low-cost substrates, such as glass and plastics, melt. As such, methods to lower the crystallization temperature of amorphous silicon are of great interest in materials research. This thesis looks at one such method, Metal-Induced Crystallization (MIC), in which contact with a metal induces crystallization of amorphous silicon at much lower temperatures. Specifically, we examine aluminum and beryllium induced crystallization, and investigate the variables within MIC that affect the crystallization temperature..

Crystallization is one of the most ancient and interdisciplinary topics of research known to mankind. Crystals can be organic or inorganic and may be produced from melts, liquid solutions, vapors or even in solid state. Notwithstanding its inherently high complexity, the crystallization process is part of our everyday lives, from ice making in our homes to the most state-of-the-art chemical and electronic industry. In this book, our purpose was to present new insights to the reader, as well as crucial and very useful information for researchers working in this field, while simultaneously creating a comprehensive text about crystallization processes which may serve as a starting point for people with different backgrounds.

In nearly all process industries, crystallization is used at some stage as a method of production, purification or recovery of solid materials. In recent years, a number of new applications have also come to rely on crystallization processes such as the crystallization of nano and amorphous materials. The articles in this book have been contributed by some of the most respected researchers in this area and cover the frontier areas of research and developments in crystallization processes. Divided into three sections, this book provides the latest research developments in many aspects of crystallization including the crystallization of biological macromolecules and pharmaceutical compounds, the crystallization of nanomaterials and the crystallization of amorphous and glassy materials. This book is of interest to both fundamental research and practicing scientists and will prove invaluable to all chemical engineers and industrial chemists in process industries, as well as crystallization workers and students in industry and academia.
