The dependence of the high-temperature internal friction of germanium and silicon, both intrinsic and highly n type, was measured as a function of temperature, frequency, dislocation density, and dopant concentration. An acoustoelectric peak in both germanium and silicon was detected and found to agree well with the theory of Weinreich. The high-temperature dislocation-dependent damping in intrinsic germanium and silicon was studied and seen to be consistent with most previous studies. If deformed at high temperature and allowed to anneal, highly doped n-type material behaved intrinsically due to preferential precipitation at dislocations; however, if deformed at moderate temperatures and not allowed to anneal, such crystals exhibited a greatly enhanced dislocation-dependent internal friction which depended on the extrinsic carrier concentration. A theory was developed for dislocation damping in semiconductors and was found to agree well with experimental results. The model is based upon electronic viscous damping of dislocations by excess current carriers whose lifetimes are controlled by Auger recombination processes.
Tungsten carbide monocrystals have been grown from a Co flux using a modified Czochralski technique. These crystals are about 1 cm in size, show little internal strain, and contain few Co inclusions. The highestquality crystals grow in the [OOOlJ direction with a melt composition of 16 mole% WC-84 mole% Co, a surface temperature of 1475°C, and a"pulling rate of 0.2 mm/h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
