K. Grasza, COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF THE LOW SUPERSATURATION NUCLEATION IN CRYSTAL-GROWTH BY CONTACTLESS PHYSICAL VAPOR TRANSPORT, Journal of crystal growth, 193(3), 1998, pp. 426-429
Low supersaturation nucleation is modeled by numerical calculation of
the thermal field in crystal growth by ''contactless'' physical vapor
transport technique, Dependence of the thermal field/shape of the sour
ce on the thermal profile of the furnace and the system geometry is in
vestigated. Optimization of the nucleation process by using a proper t
emperature field is discussed. Results of the modeling are compared wi
th experimental results obtained using cadmium telluride as the source
material. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
