← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid deposition shifts solid phase?
A)Reduced surface vacancy concentration
B)Accelerated bulk material creep
C)Enhanced grain boundary diffusion
D)Increased probability of amorphization✓
💡 Explanation
Increased amorphization occurs because of kinetic limitations during rapid solidification bypass crystalline ordering, preventing atoms from reaching equilibrium lattice positions and creating a disordered structure with increased potential energy; therefore, increasing the chance of amorphous matter, rathen than ordered phases expected under equilibrium cooling promoting lower energy crystalline states.
