Integrated sensors and transmitters of a wide variety of human physiological indicators have
recently emerged in the form of multimaterial optical fibers. The methods utilized in the …

The formation mechanism of a cellular structure during the growth of Si-rich SiGe crystals
was studied by in situ observation. We directly observed the morphological transformation of …

Silicon germanium (SiGe) is an important emerging compound semiconductor material. To
produce quality bulk material by solution or melt techniques, a good understanding of the …

An adaptive phase field model is used to study the morphological instability and the facet
formation during a directional solidification of SiGe alloys. Using highly anisotropic surface …

Numerical simulations of thermo-solutal Marangoni convection in a floating half SiGe zone
with radiation effects under zero gravity have been carried out. In this system, thermal and …

Crystal-melt interface morphological transformation of differently oriented SiGe crystals with
different Ge concentrations was observed, and the effect of Ge concentration on critical …

The effect of a static magnetic field on silicon dissolution into the germanium melt has been
experimentally investigated. The experiments in this study show a trend to higher dissolution …

Liquid phase diffusion experiments have been performed without and with the application of
a 0.4 T static magnetic field using a three‐zone DC furnace system. SiGe crystals were …

The effect of applied rotating and combined (rotating and static) magnetic fields on silicon
transport during the liquid phase diffusion growth of SiGe was experimentally studied. 72 …

The manuscript presents the results of a combined experimental and modeling study on the
Liquid Phase Diffusion (LPD) growth of single crystal SixGe1-x on Germanium with and with …
