The growth interface profile shape and the composition distribution in the MnxCd1-xln2Te4 (x=0.1) ingot were analyzed. Even though the stoichiometric composition was synthesized in the original ingot, the composition has been redistributed during the ACRT-B growth process. Mn and Cd contents decrease while In increases along the longitudinal axis. The partition ratios of solutes Mn, Cd and In at the growth interface are evaluated by a mathematical method based on the experimental data, which are found to be 1.286, 1.926 and 0.729 in α phase growth process, and 1.120, 1.055 and 0.985 in β phase growth process, respectively. In the radial direction, Mn and Cd contents increase while In decreases with the distance from the centerline of the ingot.展开更多

Effects have been investigated of the ACRT wave parameters on the solid-liquid interface concavity and the solute segregation of the crystal. The results show that ACRT can result in the increase of both the solid-liquid interface concavity and the temperature gradient of the melt in the front of the solid-liquid interface, of which the magnitude varies from small to many times when the ACRT wave parameters change. Of the ACRT wave parameters, the increase of the crucible maximum rotation rate can hardly improve the radial solute segregation of the crystal, but the variation of the crucible acceleration time, the keep time at the maximum rotation rate, and the crucible deceleration time can affect the solute segregation of the single crystal extraordinarily. With suitable wave parameters, ACRT greatly decreases the radial solute segregation of the crystal, and even makes it disappear completely. However, it increases both the axial solute segregation and the radial one notably with bad wave parameters. An excellent single crystal could be gotten, of which a majority part is with no segregation, with ACRT-Bridgman method by adjusting both the ACRT wave parameters and the crystal growth control parameters, such as the initial temperature of the melt, the temperature gradient, and the crucible withdrawal rate, etc.展开更多
