THERMO-SOLUTAL CONVECTION IN HORIZONTAL BRIDGMAN GROWTH OF Si_(0.25)Ge_(0.75) IN THE PRESENCE OF MAGNETIC FIELD

摘要

The effects of the applied axial static magnetic field on the flow, heat and mass transfer in the solvent region of the bulk single crystal growth of SiGe has been investigated. The silicon distribution and deposition at the solidification front studied. The results of steady state condition along with different magnetic field intensities were analyzed. It was found that the applied axial magnetic field had no significant impact on the silicon distribution.
