Abstract:The flow rate of molten arsenic selenide in circular-cylindrical channels was measured as a function of temperature and excess gas pressure over the melt with application to the fabrication of optical fibers by crucible methods. The channel diameter was 3.0, 4.2, and 4.5 mm, and the channel length was 120 mm. The temperature was varied from 285 to 320 ° C, and the excess pressure of the inert gas was up to 1.5 × 10 5 Pa. The results demonstrate that there is a threshold pressure for melt flow, suggesting that … Show more
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.
