The explosive crystallization processes in nanocrystalline Со-С and Со-Pd films have been studied by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction methods. The analysis of bend extinction contour microphotographs has shown the considerable internal bend (~100º/micron) of crystalline lattice. On the basis of the experimental data we founded the correlation of magnetic properties and lattice curvature. In present paper the shear transformation zone theory was used for attempt to explain the mechanism and kinetics of the explosive crystallization in Co-C and Co-Pd films.
