Abstract
Solid-liquid interfaces during automated Czochralski crystal growth ar e systematically studied for different oxide materials. The shape of t he core in Bi12SiO20 and Bi12GeO20 is related to the interface curvatu re. Numerical calculations are performed in order to obtain temperatur e profiles and flow patterns for different melt heights. The experimen tal results widely confirm the theoretically predicted interface shape s at different stages of the growth process.
