Abstract
We present reflectivity measurements allowing the quantitative determination of crystallization times from 103 s down to 10-8 s. For the slow speeds the crystallization of a written mark at constant temperatures is monitored. For the fast speeds time resolved measurements are employed. The presented experimental methods show a high potential to yield information on stoichiometry induced variation of the crystallization speed and on the physical mechanism of phase change processes.Keywords
