RT Journal Article T1 Model for crystallization kinetics: Deviations from Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetics A1 Castro, Mario A1 Domínguez-Adame Acosta, Francisco A1 Sánchez, A. A1 Rodriguez, T. AB We propose a simple and versatile model to understand the deviations from the well-known Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetics theory found in metal recrystallization and amorphous semiconductor crystallization. We analyze the kinetics of the transformation and the grain-size distribution of the product material, finding a good overall agreement between our model and available experimental data. The information so obtained could help to relate the mentioned experimental deviations due to preexisting anisotropy along some regions, to a certain degree of crystallinity of the amorphous phases during deposition, or more generally, to impurities or roughness of the substrate.
