A Method for Growing Single Crystals of Metallic Indium Antimonide under Pressure

摘要

A method is described for growing single crystals of the metallic β‐tin phase of InSb. These crystals were grown from the melt at a pressure of 26 Kbars and recovered, in their metastable state, at liquid‐nitrogen temperature. They were cylindrical in shape with lengths ranging from 6–20 mm and diameters ranging from 3–6 mm.
