Методом комбiнацiйного розсiювання свiтла дослiджено процеси iндукованої оловом кристалiзацiї аморфного кремнiю в тонкоплiвкових структурах Si–Sn–Si пiд дiєю рiзних видiв iмпульсного лазерного опромiнення. Експериментально визначено та проаналiзовано залежностi розмiрiв та концентрацiї нанокристалiв Si вiд потужностi лазерних iмпульсiв тривалiстю 10 нс та 150 мкс з довжиною хвилi 535 нм та 1070 нм. Показано можливiсть ефективної iндукованої оловом трансформацiї кремнiю iз аморфної фази в кристалiчну за час порядку 10 нс в шарах a–Si товщиною 200 нм пiд дiєю iмпульсу лазерного свiтла. Теоретичний розрахунок просторового i часового розподiлу температур в зонi дiї лазерного променя використано для iнтерпретацiї експериментальних результатiв.
