This work presents an analytical study of the thermally activated amorphous-to-crystalline phase-change process when the heating source has a delta function temporal profile. This simulates the case of ultrafast heating where crystallization in the amorphous phase-change medium occurs during cooling. The study produced closed-form expressions that predict the necessary peak temperature, and hence energy density, in the phase-change medium for successful crystallization during ultrafast annealing as functions of the kinetic and thermal parameters of the medium. Closed-form expressions were also derived that provide estimates of the final crystalline mark widths and tail lengths when phase change has ceased. The analysis indicated the need to reduce the activation energy of crystallization and the thermal diffusivity of the medium to reduce the initial peak temperature, produced by the heating source, to avoid melting, to increase the crystallization rate, to achieve sufficient levels of crystalline fractio...
