Crystal Growth and Stoichiometry of Strongly Correlated Intermetallic Cerium Compounds

Vapor Transport Crystal Growth of the Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Compounds

Techniques are described for growing single crystals ofthe transition metal dichalcogenide compounds Nb1 — ~Ta~Se2(0 ~ x ~ 0.20). Both iodine and selenium vapor transport have been used. A portion of the phase diagram has been determined, in order to produce the desired 2H polymorpoh for all compositions of interest. Measurement of the superconducting transition temperature is shown to be a use...

Single crystal growth of LaCuOS by the flux method

Preparation of single crystals of LaCuOS, that is a transparent p-type semiconductor exhibiting violet-light emission, was demonstrated by flux method using NaCl+KCl(1:1) as flux. The crystals were grown in an alumina tube inserted in an evacuated silica glass tube using the starting materials of La2O2S and Cu2S, as well as the flux and a small amount of K2S that reduces the coloration of cryst...

Differential thermal analysis and solution growth of intermetallic compounds

To obtain single crystals by solution growth, an exposed primary solidification surface in the appropriate, but often unknown, equilibrium alloy phase diagram is required. Furthermore, an appropriate crucible material is needed, necessary to hold the molten alloy during growth, without being attacked by it. Recently, we have used the comparison of realistic simulations with experimental differe...

Detection of Polymer Brushes developed via Single Crystal Growth

Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
