Control of the solid-liquid interface during RF-floating zone crystal growth by means of a two-phase inductor

Priede, J.; Gerbeth, G.; Hermann, R.; Behr, G.

The quality of single crystals grown by the floating-zone method is strongly determined by the geometry of the solid-liquid phase boundary which, in turn, can be significantly influenced by the convection in the molten zone.
We describe a novel inductor design which allows a strong influence on the flow filed. Numerical simulations are presented for the design of such a two-phase inductor.
