Journal ArticleDOI
A liquid-solution-phase synthesis of crystalline silicon.
TL;DR: A liquid-solution-phase technique for preparing submicrometer-sized silicon single crystals is presented, based on the reduction of SiCl4 and RSiCl3 by sodium metal in a nonpolar organic solvent at high temperatures and high pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible Solid-to-Liquid Phase Transition of Coordination Polymer Crystals
TL;DR: The reversible solid-to-liquid phase transition of crystalline CPs is reported, and it is found that the coordination bonds are not fully preserved in the liquid state but are re-formed in the glass state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zone Melting: This technique offers unique advantages in purification and in control of composition in various substances.
TL;DR: So far, most work in the field of zone melting has been done on a small scale, use of heavier than 100-pound ingots of certain metals notwithstanding, but there is no basic reason why tons rather than pounds cannot be treated.

Convection and Inhomogeneities in Crystal Growth from the Melt
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the various origins of inhomogeneities occuring during crystal growth from the melt is given, and it is shown that convection is the major source of the non-uniformities in the technically used growth configurations, e.g. Czochralski-, zone-and Bridgman-methods, because the growth rate is controlled by the heat transport.

Studies of Floating Liquid Zones in Simulated Zero Gravity
J. R. Carruthers,M. Grasso +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape stability of cylindrical, conical, and spherical zone shapes was investigated under conditions of density imbalance and end-member rotation, and it was shown that the generally accepted Heywang criterion for the stability of spherical liquid zones is no longer valid under reduced gravitational conditions.
