The zone‐leveling process has been developed into a simple and effective tool, capable of growing large single crystals having high lattice perfection and containing an essentially uniform distribution of one or more desired impurities. Experimental work with germanium is discussed, and the possibility of broad application of the principles involved is indicated.
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.
