Abstract
The main goal of this project is to study the crystallization mechanisms induced by high hydrostatic pressures. The systems to be investigated are micro- or nano-structures embedded in amorphous inorganic semiconductors (a-Si and a-Ge), oxygen- (a-SiOx and a-GeOx) or nitrogen-containing (a-SiNx and a-GeNx) matrices. They will be prepared in the form of thin films under three different way…
