Abstract

In this work the model substance phenytoin is vacuum deposited
onto a silica substrate resulting in amorphous films. Crystallization is
obtained via the AFM tip as it moves in close vicinity of the surface in
non-contact mode. The formed crystals show strong differences
depending on the initial layer thickness and in comparison with
spontaneously formed crystals
