Dislocation cell structures in melt-grown semiconductor compound crystals
نویسنده
چکیده
The phenomenon of dislocation patterning during melt growth of III-V, II-VI and IV-VI semiconductor crystals is discussed. The paper is focused on the formation of cellular structures driven by the growth inherent thermo-mechanical stress. Of particular interest is the scaling of relations between cells size, dislocation density and acting shear stress. Among the materials there are characteristic similarities but also significant variations of the cell genesis. After the related compound specifics are discussed possible measures for retardation of cell patterning during growth are demonstrated.

Optimization of A Thermal Coupled Flow Problem of Semiconductor Melts
In this paper we describe the formal Lagrange-technique to optimize the production process of solid state crystals from a mixture crystal melt. After the construction of the adjoint equation system of the Boussinesq equation of the crystal melt the forward and backward problems (KKT-system) are discretized by a conservative finite volume method.
متن کاملDislocation patterning: The role of climb in meso-scale simulations
Simulation of parallel dynamics of edge dislocations in a 2D hexagonal lattice is carried out on a large scale by means of coarse graining, in the absence of external strain. In order to study the effect of climb on dislocation pattern formation, we allowed (i) isotropic (ii) biased (iii) only glide mobility. Moreover we annihilated dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors close to each other...

This paper reports the mechanoluminescence (ML) induced by impulsive excitation of γ irradiated terbium doped KCl single crystals and powder. The KCl crystals having different concentrations of terbium were prepared by melt technique (slow cooling).The crystals of small sizes were cleaved from grown crystal block and crushed to obtain powder or microcrystalline powder. The annealed samples were...

Double doped (Nd + K) ferroelectric lead germanate single crystals were grown by controlled cooling of melt. Greenish tinge crystals of 5 x 4 x 3 mm were found embedded in the solid. Pure lead germanate was grown by cz technique for comparative analysis. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of pure crystals showed a sharp dielectric peak at 179°C while dielectric constant of doped crystals show...
متن کاملSurface Analysis and Structures Spherical Crystals of Very Clean Au, Cu and Au-Cu Alloys Grown from a Drop of Melt
Surface impurities on spherical Au and Cu crystals grown from a drop of melt on graphite in UHV were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy after the metals had been cleaned by melting resp. roasting in air. Crystals of Au-Cu alloys grown by the same technique show enrichment of the less abundant component. The well known reconstructions Au(001)(5x20) and Au(l 1 l)(23x 1) could not be detected...
