Abstract
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.
