Abstract:The temperature gradient within a furnace chamber and the crucible pull rate are the key control parameters for cadmium zinc telluride Bridgman single crystal growth. Their effects on the heat and mass transfer in front of the solid-liquid interface and the solute segregation in the grown crystal were investigated with numerical modeling. With an increase of the temperature gradient, the convection intensity in the melt in front of the solid-liquid interface increases almost proportionally to the temperature g… 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.
