R. Cywinski et Jz. Damm, SIMULATION OF DOPANT ZONE-LEVELING FOR VARIABLE DISTRIBUTION COEFFICIENT IN KCL-EUCL2 SYSTEM, Crystal research and technology, 29(3), 1994, pp. 357-361
Experimental data of Eu2+ distribution in EuCl2-doped KCl ingots are a
nalyzed. After setting the relation between variable distribution coef
ficient and the dopant concentration in the melt, the simulation of th
e dopant zone-leveling for various molten zone widths is performed. It
is shown that owing to the decrease of the distribution coefficient c
aused by increasing dopant concentration in the molten zone, the numbe
r of the zone passes after which the dopant concentration levees off u
ndergoes significant reduction.
