La. Slobozhanin et al., STABILITY OF THE MELT MENISCUS DURING GROWTH OF CRYSTALS BY THE TECHNIQUE OF PULLING FROM SHAPER (TPS) UNDER ZERO-GRAVITY CONDITIONS, Journal of crystal growth, 133(3-4), 1993, pp. 273-280
The axially symmetric equilibrium shapes of the free surface of the me
lt during crystal growth by the technique of pulling from shaper (TPS)
under zero-gravity conditions have been analyzed. In the real systems
such a surface consists of two unconnected parts. This fact essential
ly affects stability of the melt. The method of investigation of stabi
lity is described and numerical results are provided for growth angles
of 0-degrees, 10-degrees and 15-degrees.
