A semiempirical method is proposed, by which the role of kinetical constraints to the growth in closed tube chemical vapour transport can be evidenced.The method is based on the evaluation of the ratio (@) between the quantity D!E which is related to the semiempirically-determined average diffusivity of the gaseous species during the growth process, and the quantity O r x , which is related to the maximum average diffusivity of the gaseous species as is predicted, through the choice of a suitable diffusional model, by the equilibrium thermodynamics and diffusion properties of the vapour phase. 1962, 1964), ii) absence of free-convection as well as of iii) heat-transport limitations, the CT-CVD crystallization rate can be given, for 8 one-dimensional model, by (1) AH AT -RPa Aa J = -
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.
