The application of steady magnetic fields during crystal growth of indium phosphide is
described, and the effect of the magnetic fields on crystal properties is analyzed. The use of …

Crystal growth of bulk InP using a cusped magnetic field has been investigated. A vertical
arrangement of two Helmholz coils with opposite polarity provides the configuration for a …

This research advances basic understanding in the field of indium phosphide (InP) crystal
growth and defect control. Control of defects is a paramount concern in InP bulk crystal …

Since the 1970s the growth of indium phosphide (InP) single crystals has evolved from
being a laboratory curiosity to become a commercial product with worldwide applications …

The effect of a magnetic field on the properties of InP melt and grown crystals have been
investigated. Temperature fluctuations in the melt were effectively reduced to less than 0.3° …

A comparison is made between the magnetic liquid-encapsulated-Kyropoulos (MLEK)
method and the magnetic liquid-encapsulated-Czochralski (MLEC) method for bulk growth …

Melt flow control using magnetic fields is one of the key issues in the optimization of growth
processes for semiconductor bulk single crystals. This chapter reviews the present …

We have used a combined magnetic liquid encapsulated Kyropoulos/Czochralski
(MLEK/MLEC) technique to produce twin-free indium phosphide (InP) crystals. This …

We have developed a comprehensive model that accounts for oscillatory, laminar and
turbulent flows caused by buoyancy and surface tension forces; forced convection due to …

The use of a horizontal gradient-freeze (HGF) method employing a sealed pressure-
balanced system for synthesis and in situ crystal growth without encapsulation is described …
