Abstract
A novel pulling mechanism for crystal growth based on a metal rod's thermal
expansion is proposed. The pulling rate of this apparatus can be controlle
d continuously and smoothly by a temperature controller. A NaCl single crys
tal 20 mm in diameter and 4.17 mm in thickness has been successfully grown,
proving the feasibility of this new device. Further improvements and poten
tial applications are discussed briefly. (C) 1999 American Institute of Phy
