“…The very subject matter we are led to confront in this work -the effect associated with the orientation of crystalline nuclei relative to a planar catalytic interface in heterogeneous nucleation occurring within condensed systems -appears to also have been examined more thoroughly in a theoretical manner [17] than has been the case experimentally [18]. The topic itself, at least within the basic framework of classical nucleation theory [19], is a sensible subject to identify as being potentially relevant.…”

We have investigated excimer laser irradiation of 2000-Å-thin as-deposited Al films on SiO 2 . Microstructural analysis of the irradiated films conducted with AFM and EBSD techniques reveals that there exists a wide energy density interval over which large equaxed grains with a strong (111) texture are obtained. Based on thermal, transformational, and microstructural considerations, we propose a heterogeneous nucleation model to account for the observed behaviors, and discuss the implication of the model on the phenomenon of heterogeneous nucleation of crystalline solids in condensed systems as regards the thermodynamic role played by the orientation of subcritical clusters.
