Abstract
Spontaneous explosive crystallization in a selenium/copper bilayer nanofilm has been experimentally studied. It has been shown that the formation of a microcrack network in the selenium film is a decisive factor for spontaneous explosive crystallization. The microcrack network is an efficient channel for the relaxation of the collected energy of elastic stresses in the selenium film. The relaxation of this energy accelerates crystallization and transfers it to the explosive regime. It has been found that crystalline phases appearing in the products of the reaction after spontaneous explosive crystallization depend on the ratio of the thicknesses of the copper and selenium films.
