The crystallization behavior of amorphous films embedded in substrates with thickness of several nanometers is investigated based on a thermodynamic model. It is found that there is an optimum layer thickness where the crystallization speed of the films is maximized with the lowest energy barrier for crystallization. This is induced by an energetic change from glass/substrate interface energy to crystal/substrate...
