Heat transfer and convection in Czochralski growth of large BGO Crystals

A Device to Crystallize Organic Solids: Structure of Ciprofloxacin, Midazolam, and Ofloxacin as Targets

“…In order to obtain crystal structures of anhydrous compounds, a novel approach is required where intervention of solvent can be entirely eliminated. There are a large number of methods to synthesize single crystals of a required compound like for example slow evaporation, vapor diffusion, solvent diffusion, sublimation, convection, and zonemelting. − Out of these techniques, slow evaporation from a solution is frequently adopted to grow single crystals of organics, and frequently this process leads to the incorporation of the solvent in the crystal structure. For example, adenine always crystallizes with the incorporation of three water molecules during crystallization.…”

Influence of the Uniaxial Hot-Pressing Sintering Condition on Bi4Ge3O12 Ceramic Scintillators

“…e BGO crystals growth process is reasonably expensive [6][7][8]. However, the use of polycrystalline ceramics has shown some advantages, in comparison with single crystal form, such as easier preparation and lower production costs [9].…”

Three‐dimensional study of the pressure field and advantages of hemispherical crucible in silicon Czochralski crystal growth

“…Numerical simulation is recognized today as a powerful tool for the optimization of the growth technology, providing both physical understanding and quantitative predictions to engineers [2]. Over the past two decades, there have been many works on numerical analysis of Cz crystal growth process using various models [3][4][5][6][7]. However, surprisingly, two very important factors have not been considered enough in Czochralski crystal growth studies: the pressure and the spherical geometry.…”
