J. Wollweber et al., EXTREMELY REDUCED DISLOCATION DENSITY IN SIXGE1-X SINGLE-CRYSTALS GROWN BY THE FLOAT-ZONE TECHNIQUE, Journal of crystal growth, 158(1-2), 1996, pp. 166-168
Using the crucible-free float zone technique single crystals were grow
n from silicon-germanium solid solutions in the [111] direction. No di
slocations could be observed either by epd measurements or by X-ray to
pography or by IR-transmission microscopy of copper-decorated samples.
The diameter was about 16 mm and the maximum germanium concentration
ran up to 5.4 at%.
