Abstract: | Summary The free convection in the melt during the crystal growth of small-gap semiconductors, and its influence on the electrical properties are discussed. Dimensionaless parameters of the fluid flow, electrical properties of PbTe, Pb1−x Sn x Te and Hg1−x Cd x Te single crystals, grown by vertical Bridgman technique at very low velocity, and some structures, found in these materials, support the presence of free convection. |
