“…The FZ method can be used to avoid the peritectic reaction and ensure the growth of a single crystal; however, the growth conditions should be carefully controlled according to the alloys' compositions. When the alloy was composed of (Mo 0.85 Nb 0.15 )Si 2 , C40 single-phase single crystals were obtained at a growth rate of 2.5 mm/h; on the other hand, when the alloy was composed of (Mo 0.90 Nb 0.10 )Si 2 , single crystals were not obtained even at the same growth rate [4,8].…”
