Growth and Properties of Mid-infrared Single Crystal LiInS2

A Bridgman growth furnace was modified by adding adiabatic material between two furnace tubes. The appropriate temperature gradient of 10～30 ℃/cm at the growth interface was obtained by adjusting the distance between the two sections and controlling their temperature. The infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal LiInS2 was successfully grown by the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). The crystal was characterized by using XRD and transmission microscopy. It is found that the UV-VIS-NIR and Mid-IR transmittances are about 40%.

Protective yttria coatings of melting crucible for metallic fuel slugs

As one of the candidate coating materials for a melting crucible, yttrium oxides were deposited on graphite and niobium substrates using slurry and plasma spraying methods. Thermal cycling tests and interaction studies between U–Zr/U–Zr–RE fuel melt and the Y₂O₃ coatings were carried out to evaluate the performance as reusable coatings for a melting crucible. A multi‐layer coating method was also applied to overcome the issue of a thermal expansion mismatch between the coating and substrate. The results showed that the plasma‐sprayed coatings showed a good consolidation after deposition compared to slurry coating. The plasma‐sprayed Y₂O₃ coating on the niobium substrate showed better thermal cycling resistance than those coated on a graphite substrate. The proposed TaC/Y₂O₃ double‐layer coating which was plasma‐sprayed on the niobium substrate showed improved characteristics with no reaction layer formation and no separation from the substrate after the interaction with the U–Zr–RE melt.

Numerical investigation of magnetic field effect on pressure in cylindrical and hemispherical silicon CZ crystal growth

The effect of axial magnetic field of different intensities on pressure in silicon Czochralski crystal growth is investigated in cylindrical and hemispherical geometries with rotating crystal and crucible and thermocapillary convection. As one important thermodynamic variable, the pressure is found to be more sensitive than temperature to magnetic field with strong dependence upon the vorticity field. The pressure at the triple point is proposed as a convenient parameter to control the homogeneity of the grown crystal. With a gradual increase of the magnetic field intensity the convection effect can be reduced without thermal fluctuations in the silicon melt. An evaluation of the magnetic interaction parameter critical value corresponding to flow, pressure and temperature homogenization leads to the important result that a relatively low axial magnetic field is required for the spherical system comparatively to the cylindrical one.     

Combined effects of crucible geometry and Marangoni convection on silicon Czochralski crystal growth

In order to understand the influence of crucible geometry combined with natural convection and Marangoni convection on melt flow pattern, temperature and pressure fields in silicon Czochralski crystal growth process, a set of numerical simulations was conducted. We carry out calculation enable us to determine temperature, pressure and velocity fields in function of Grashof and Marangoni numbers. The essential results show that the hemispherical geometry of crucible seems to be adapted for the growth of a good quality crystal and the pressure field is strongly affected by natural and Marangoni convection and it is more sensitive than temperature.

本文采用紊流模型对提拉大直径单晶硅时,对晶体旋转、坩埚旋转及二者共同作用三种情况下,熔体内的流线、等温线、氧的浓度分布、紊流粘性系数、紊动能等作了数值模拟,发现晶体的旋转能提高氧的径向均匀性,紊流粘性系数和紊动能随着坩埚转速的提高先增加后下降.晶体坩埚同时旋转时并不能有效降低紊流粘性系数,但能使子午面上的流动受到抑制,等温线更为平坦,有利于晶体生长.

冷坩埚磁悬浮熔炼的电磁场分析

针对冷坩埚熔炼过程的悬浮特性问题,利用准三维耦合电流算法,就坩埚结构、电磁频率及感应圈电流等影响因素进行分析,为冷坩埚结构和磁悬浮熔炼的优化设计提供依据。结果显示,冷坩埚熔炼时,电磁场频率和冷坩埚结构决定坩埚的透磁能力,随频率上升,坩埚内磁通密度下降,且频率高于100kHz时下降趋势加大;其次,冷坩埚的分瓣结构使其涡流损耗降低,且磁场频率越高效果越明显。对100kHz以上的超高频磁场,坩埚应分割为(16~20)瓣;对(10~100)kHz的高频磁场,坩埚可分割为(8~12)瓣;而对低于10kHz的中高频磁场,坩埚只需分割(4~8)瓣。再者,熔体的磁悬浮力与感应圈电流成平方关系,且电磁场频率越高则磁悬浮力越大。
