Abstract

Gravity-driven convection can alter the diffusive-advective mass transport behavior in the growth of crystals by physical vapor transport. Specially designed and constructed transparent furnaces are being used in our laboratory to study the effects of gravity in crystal growth of the compound semiconductors PbTe and CdTe.
