Shaped Crystals (eBook, PDF)

Growth by Micro-Pulling-Down Technique
Redaktion: Fukuda, Tsuguo; Chani, Valery I.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume offers an overview of the growth of shaped crystals (oxides, fluorides, etc.) by the micro-pulling-down technique. Both melt and solution (flux) growth are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed in detail and compared with related crystal-growth processes. The authors attempt to give a practical introduction to this technique, thereby also explaining how its application can help to solve problems commonly encountered in other melt-growth methods.
