Near equilibrium evaporation‐condensation in a sealed ampoule leads to almost full compositional reproduction of a solid solution if it consists of components having comparable vapour pressures; this can be qualitatively interpreted by domination of entropy increase. Nevertheless, even vestigial separation requires closer characteristics, since it may prove crucial – particularly for properties of semiconducting solid solutions. Maximum component separation allowed by a small temperature difference is described here in terms of thermodynamics and kinetics of solid‐vapour and vapour‐solid phase transitions. Theoretical models of the determining effects having different character are shortly described, and their applicability areas are determined. Experimental data collected for crystal growth of numerous semiconducting solid solutions of the II‐VI and IV‐VI type support the conclusion drawn from the models that the near equilibrium crystal growth from the vapour in a closed system ensures the highest degree of compositional uniformity.

A method of self-selecting vapour growth (SSVG) for bulk binary and multernary crystals of semiconducting materials is reviewed comprehensively for the first time. Although it has been developed over three decades, the method is less well known – even though it is physically distinct from the more widely used ‘Piper–Polich’ and ‘Markov–Davydov’ vapour transport bulk growth methods. The means by which growth takes place on a polycrystalline source to form a crystal free from the walls is described. Modelling and empirical observations have been used to establish the characteristics of the almost isothermal temperature fields that drive the transport in SSVG. It is demonstrated that precise control of thermal radiation is a fundamental requirement for tailoring the temperature distribution—a fact that has been used well in the design of horizontal tube furnace growth rigs. Achievements in the growth of useful PbS, PbSe, PbTe, CdTe and ZnTe compound crystals are described. The SSVG method has proved to be particularly well suited to the growth of solid solutions, and the results of growth experiments, and of compositional and structural analysis, are presented for Pb(Se,S), (Pb,Sn)Se, (Pb,Sn)Te, (Pb,Ge)Te, Cd(Te,Se), Cd(Te,S) and (Cd,Zn)Te. The excellent compositional uniformity delivered is attributed to entropy driven mixing in the low thermal gradients present in SSVG. To date, most SSVG has been done at the <50 g level for research or small scale production use. Prospects for scaling up the growth are considered, there being no barriers identified in principle. However, there is a limitation in that the shape of the grown crystals is not accurately controlled at present. To overcome this, and to offer an alternative method of scaling up, the use of vertical tube systems is explored. A significant additional advantage of the vertical configuration is that it allows for continuous recycling of the source/crystal mass so as to continuously self-refine the increasingly uniform – and crystalline – product. Achievements to date in growing II–VI and IV–VI crystals are described for prototype vertical SSVG systems. Finally, future prospects for the SSVG method in terms of further developments to the method, and the specific materials that will benefit from it are highlighted. 相似文献

Spectroscopic ellipsometry in the infrared spectral range 250‐5000 cm ‐1 is used for analysis of the dielectric response of Zn 1‐x‐yBe xMg ySe and Zn 1‐x‐yBe xMn ySe crystals grown by a high‐pressure Bridgman method. Ellipsometric spectra display features in the spectral range 390‐500 cm ‐1 associated with BeSe‐type phonon modes. In the optical spectra of Zn 1‐x‐yBe xMg ySe crystals both BeSe‐type and MgSe‐type lattice absorption bands are detected. The MgSe‐like modes are located at approximately 300 cm ‐1. The complex dielectric functions can be reproduced using a model with two or three and one or two classical damped oscillators corresponding to the BeSe‐like and the MgSe‐like transverse‐optical phonon modes, respectively. The frequencies of longitudinal‐optical phonons have been derived from the dielectric loss functions. A red‐shift of the BeSe‐like phonons frequencies with a mean rate 0.42 cm ‐1 (0.50 cm ‐1) per mole percent of Mg (Mn) incorporated to the alloy has been found for examined concentration range x, y ≤ 0.25. A noticeable damping the intensities of BeSe‐type modes with increasing fraction of Mg and Mn dopant is observed in comparison to the strengths of BeSe‐type modes in Zn 1‐xBe xSe crystals.

Nowadays, the growth of ZnO by vapor transport in silica ampoules is generally made in presence of graphite. As it has been already shown, this means that the growth process is carried out in presence of a Zn excess. In order to control that and act, as a consequence, on the physical properties of crystals we have performed a systematic study of the growth process in a wide range of Zn excess compositions using well defined experimental conditions. As a preliminary characterization, optical absorption and electrical properties have been analyzed at room temperature. The results show how some physical properties of as‐grown ZnO crystals can be changed in a controlled way by an adequate combination of different growth conditions such as graphite covering of inner ampoule walls, thermal difference between source material and crystallization zone and additional gas (composition and pressure). In this frame some post‐growth annealing processes can be avoided reducing the time and cost of processes. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The linewidths of Raman‐active intralayer compressional modes in GaS 1‐xSe x layered mixed crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been measured in the 10‐300 K temperature range to study the anharmonic effect as a function of compositional variation and temperature. It was found that the anharmonicity increases with an increase in substitutional disorder. The cubic (three‐phonon) processes with energy conservation is responsible for the anharmonic contribution to the broadening of the intralayer phonon lines with temperature.

The leaf‐like copper oxide (CuO) nanocrystals have been synthesized by a gas‐liquid diffusion method in pure aqueous solution at room temperature. The structure, morphologies and related properties of the as‐prepared crystals were characterized with X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The influence of copper concentration was investigated, which plays an important role in the formation of nanostructured CuO crystals. Only when the copper concentration was low enough (0.005 M) that the leaf‐like CuO could be obtained directly. Additionally, a growth mechanism of CuO was also proposed based on the observed results. 相似文献

4,4′‐dihydroxy‐α‐methylstilbene (DHAMS) was synthesized by condensation reaction with chloroacetone and phenol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, and has been successfully grown by solution growth technique. This is the first report in the literature on the crystallization of DHAMS and exhibited the birefringent melt (liquid crystal property) of the optical properties. FTIR and FTNMR studies are in accordance with the structure. Good quality crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique by acetone as solvent. A transmission spectrum of the crystal was obtained in the region of 285 nm. The structural and optical properties were studied. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Application of micronizing technologies in processing Chinese herbal medicines is very important to improve the forms of prepared Chinese herbal medicines and promote their therapeutic efficacy. Baicalin, a major active component of the typical Chinese herb medicine Scullateria baicallensis Georgi, was micronized using the Solution Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical fluids though Prefilming Atomization (SEDS‐PA) process with the aim of evaluating the efficiency of applying supercritical fluid precipitation technologies in Chinese herb medicine. This study has shown that acicula or rod‐like baicalin crystals with Particle Size (PS) of about 20×100 μm were successfully micronized by the SEDS‐PA process to long rod‐like, twisted fiber‐like or fibrous net‐like microparticles with PS of 0.1‐2.2 μm in width within the range of experiments performed. It was found that a substantial reduction of baicalin microparticles' sizes could lead to a marked increase of adhesions among them and subsequent microparticles agglomeration. With the increase of supercritical CO 2 flow rate and the decrease of solution concentration and solution flow rate, smaller and much more agglomerated microparticles were obtained. Increasing pressure led to formation of smaller microparticles. A larger tendency of particles agglomeration was produced at a higher temperature. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The micronization of emodin in a mixed solution of dichloromethane and methanol by the Solution Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical Fluids through Prefilming Atomization (SEDS‐PA) process has been successfully performed. Morphologies and particle sizes (PSs) of the emodin microparticles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The results of micronization show that the acicular or rod‐like emodin crystals with PSs of about 3‐10 µm wide and 100‐300 µm long have successfully been micronized to needle‐like, rod‐like, twisted fiber‐like and coalesced net‐like microparticles with PSs of about 0.1‐1.0μm wide and 2‐40μm long by the SEDS‐PA process. The effect of technological conditions on micronization has been studied. With the increase of initial solution concentration and temperature, the PSs of emodin microparticles increase. With the increase of solution flow rate and pressure, the PSs of emodin microparticles decrease. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

In recent years considerable effort has gone into the preparation and characterisation of high purity anthracene crystals, since anthracene is used as a model organic molecular crystal in studies of solid‐state properties. Studies of organic molecular crystals and their applications in optics and electronics have been increasing attractive interest. Several attempts have been made to grow single crystals of anthracene. This is the first attempt to grow high quality anthracene crystals by solution technique adopting slow evaporation method in different solvents like CS 2 and CCl 4. The harvested crystals were subjected to various characterization studies. The results of characterisation studies support the purity of solution grown anthracene crystals. The solubility of anthracene in various solvents like CS 2 and CCI 4 was determined. The crystals of anthracene were grown by systematic method of slow evaporation technique in various solvents. Different morphology is noted with varying solvents. The crystal was subjected to XRD studies, FTIR studies and thermal studies. © 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 相似文献

Near‐stoichiometric Mn:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystals doped with various concentration of ZrO 2 were grown by top seed solution growth (TSSG) method in the air atmosphere. The Zr concentration in the crystal was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The defect structures were analyzed by means of ultraviolet‐visible and infrared transmittance spectra. The appearance of vibration peak at 3466 cm ‐1 in infrared spectra manifested that Li/Nb ratio in crystals approached to stoichiometric proportion. The fundamental absorption edge represented continuous red‐shift which was discrepancy with congruent doped LiNbO 3 crystals showed that doping ions possessed different location mechanism. The light‐induced scattering of the doped stoichiometric LiNbO 3crystals were quantitatively scaled via incident exposure energy. The results demonstrated that Zr(2 mol%):Mn:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystal had the weakest light‐induced scattering and the mechanism related to their defect structures was discussed.

Single crystals of lead zinc niobate‐lead titanate (1‐x)Pb(Zn 1/3Nb 2/3)O 3–xPbTiO 3 for x = 8% and 9% have been grown by flux method using Lead Oxide (PbO) as flux. Low scan rate XRD has been carried out to investigate on the structural influence of the compositional variations in the grown crystals. Transmission spectra in the range of UV‐Vis‐Near IR and mid IR regions have been carried out to understand the distortions caused in the BO 6 octahedral lattice. Morphological aspects of as‐grown PZN‐PT crystals have also been investigated. Dielectric measurements clearly explained the dependence of T c and diffusiveness with PT content. The values of P r and E cobtained from P‐E loops suggest the presence of ordered domain state in these PZN‐PT single crystals. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Single crystals of a new L‐Lysine salt: L‐Lysinium trifluoroacetate {abbreviated as LLyTFA; [(NH 2)‐(CH 2) 4‐CH‐(NH 3)‐(COOH)] + CF 3COO ‐} were grown by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution at room temperature. The grown crystals were subjected to single crystal X‐ray diffraction, FTIR and UV‐Vis‐NIR spectrum analyses. The UV‐Vis‐NIR spectrum shows that the absorption is very less in the whole of the region from ultraviolet to near IR. The Kurtz‐Perry powder SHG measurement using a Nd:YAG laser of wavelength 1064nm confirms the frequency doubling of the crystal and its powder SHG efficiency was measured as d eff = 0.96 d eff (KDP).

Single crystals of L‐Tyrosine hydrochloride were grown by using the submerged seed solution method. The grown crystals were characterized by using single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Functional groups and the modes of vibrations were identified by FTIR spectroscopy. The TGA/DTA studies showed that the crystal is stable up to 232°C. Microhardness study revealed that the crystal is a hard material. It is transparent in the entire visible region. The SHG efficiency was determined by the Kurtz and Perry method.

The growth of a new nonlinear optical material L‐valine by solvent evaporation method is reported here. To grow good quality crystals pH value of growth solution has been optimized and solubility of L‐valine in different solvents and different pH values was determined. The grown crystals were characterized by IR, single crystal XRD, DTA and TGA, optical transmission and second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurement. SHG efficiency of L‐valine was found equivalent to KDP and its transmission is 75%‐80% from ultraviolet to near IR region. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Nd 2‐xCe xCuO 4‐y single crystals with different x values have been successfully grown by Traveling Solvent Floating Zone method (TSFZ). Electronic properties of Nd 2‐xCe xCuO 4‐y single crystals with various x have been studied in detail. The results show that superconductivity can be found in crystals with x > 0.1 (0.13‐0.18) directly grown at oxygen‐reduced atmosphere without post‐annealed, while no superconductivity appears in crystals with x < 0.1 at the same atmosphere. It is also found that, the segregation coefficient of Ce is determined to be 0.946 and transition temperature Tc (onset) reaches maximum value of 23.5 K at nominal composition x = 0.165. With further increase of Ce concentration, transition temperature of single crystals declines due to the precipitation of secondary Phases. In addition, the variation of lattice constants of Nd 2‐xCe xCuO 4‐y single crystals with different x is also given. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Formation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in soft tissues such as cartilage, meniscus and synovial tissues lead afflictions. The appearance of these crystals in the synovial fluid give rise to acute arthritis attack, which is known as pseudo‐gout. The growth of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in gel medium can mimic the growth in a body. In the present study, calcium pyrophosphate tetrahydrate (CPPT) crystals are grown by a single diffusion gel growth technique and characterized by powder XRD, FT‐IR spectroscopy, TGA, kinetic and thermodynamic studies of dehydration and dielectric studies. Monoclinic crystals structure, presence of P‐O bonds and four water molecules are confirmed from powder XRD, FT‐IR and TGA studies, respectively. The dielectric investigation suggests the reduction in dielectric constant with increase in frequency. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The pure congruent LiNbO 3, Er:LiNbO 3 and Zn,Er co‐doped Li‐rich LiNbO 3 crystals were grown by Czochralski method. The X‐ray diffraction method and ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectra of the crystals were used to analyze the structure of the crystals. The photo‐damage ability resistance of the crystals was measured. The Zn,Er co‐doped Li‐rich LiNbO 3 crystals show a decrease in lattice constant values, a shift in absorption edge of ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectra towards shorter wavelength, and three orders of magnitude increase in photo‐damage resistance compared to congruent LiNbO 3 crystal. The intrinsic and extrinsic defects are discussed to explain the enhance of the photo‐damage ability resistance 相似文献

The elastic and elasto‐optical properties of Rb 1–x (NH 4) x H 2AsO 4 mixed crystals were studied by Brillouin spectroscopy at room temperature. The measurements were made on single crystals obtained from the aqueous solution by slow evaporation. The behaviour of bulk phonons propagating in investigated crystals was studied for different polarisations of incident and scattered beam. The components of the tensors of elasto‐optical and elastic properties of the crystals studied were determined. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献
