Kinetics and Mechanisms of Solid Phase Epitaxy and Competitive Processes in Silicon
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent progress in studies of temperature dependent kinetic competition during solid phase crystallization of silicon is presented, focusing on the enhancement of solid phase epitaxial growth rates by impurity-induced changes in electronic properties at the crystal/amorphous interface.

Orientation relationships between adjacent plates of acicular ferrite in steel weld deposits
TL;DR: The results of an investigation of the orientation relationships between adjacent plates of acicular ferrite are reported in this article in an attempt to elucidate further the mechanism of ferrite formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of TiNbTa single crystals at cryogenic temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, a new dislocation model was proposed whereby after a pair of stacked twinning dislocations move, shuffling of an atomic group consisting of three atoms occurs, forming one elementary twinned layer of four {332} planes.
