A standard Bridgman configuration of the TITUS facility was used to grow BiSbTe 3 -mixed crystals at normal and at reduced gravity. The growth experiments in space, including a dynamical registration of the temperature distribution of the furnace, were performed during the MIR'97 mission. The transient temperature profiles have been analysed to get thermal boundary conditions for numerical simulations of convection and segregation with the FEM package FIDAP. The calculations have been done within the frame of a 3D model close to the real growth conditions. The aim of the paper is to discuss the resulting Buoyancy driven flow configuration in the melt and its influence on the radial and axial segregation depending on the gravity level.
resulting in The common principle of scanning the Seebeck material is based on simultaneous measurement of two thermo-voltages, caused by a temperature
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.
