The manufacture of silicon single crystals is one of the most important processes in the
information technology industry. This book explains the details of liquid metal convection …

Abstract Two inch homogeneous Si 0.5 Ge 0.5 bulk single crystals were grown by the
traveling liquidus zone (TLZ) method for fabricating substrates for strained Si and strained …

Bulk crystal growth encompasses a wide variety of physical phenomena that occur over a
vast range of length scales, making it among the most difficult of industrial processes to …

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the steel grade transition from the ladle nozzle
to the solidification end of the bloom. The simulation is based on models encompassing fluid …

The paper presents the possibility of application of the developed computer script which
allows the assessment of non-equilibrium solidification of binary alloys in the ThermoCalc …

The one-dimensional theoretical model of the traveling liquidus-zone (TLZ) method
precisely predicts a sample translation rate for obtaining homogeneous crystals. However …

Crystal growth is a classical example of a phase transformation from the liquid phase to the
solid phase via heat transfer. A remarkable feature observed during crystal growth is the …

Steady state temperature distribution in a model Czochralski crucible has been mapped by
liquid crystal thermography (LCT). The crucible is a water-filled glass beaker. Water is used …

To obtain temperature and concentration distributions and to understand convective flow
pattern in the case of traveling liquidus-zone (TLZ) method, numerical analyses under …

Two-dimensionality of a flight cartridge is numerically investigated. In order to carry out this
study, we newly introduce two indices, that is, two-dimensionality and convection influence …
