The use of a heavier noble gas such as Kr in atomic layer annealing results in higher crystallinity due to higher momentum transfer leading to a more localized and intense surface heating effect occurring over picosecond timescales.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
