Abstract
Lateral growth rates of Ni spots deposited on absorbing substrates by decomposition of Ni(CO)4 with visible Kr+ laser light have been measured. The experimental data are consistent with the calculated temperature distributions. The mechanism of decomposition is thermal with an apparent chemical activation energy of 22±3 kcal/mole for the temperature range 350 K≦T≦500 K.
