Abstract

An unusually fast crystallization of the organic glass former nifedipine has been observed. The crystallization process, starting from an amorphous film to crystalline material, was investigated by time resolved Raman microspectroscopy. The crystallization rates of the initially crystallizing metastable β-form are four orders of magnitude higher than those of previous studies.
