Model experiments for investigations of heat transfer phenomena in the Czochralski crystal growth

A low temperature liquid metal model of the Czochralski crystal growth process is considered experimentally under conditions of high aspect ratio. We focus on the influence of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) and/or crystal rotation on temperature fluctuation near the crystal edge. The radial flow structure is observed by ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV). It is concluded that the effect of RMF on the temperature fluctuation is less expressed than in a Rayleigh-Bénard cell.
