3D modeling of growth ridge and edge facet formation in 〈100〉 floating zone silicon crystal growth process
2019
Abstract A 3D quasi-stationary model for crystal ridge formation in FZ crystal growth systems for silicon is presented. Heat transfer equations for the melt and crystal are solved, and an anisotropic crystal growth model together with a free surface shape solver is used to model the facet growth and ridge formation. The simulation results for 4″ and 5″ crystals are presented and compared to experimental ridge shape data.
Effect of process parameters and crystal orientation on 3D anisotropic stress during CZ and FZ growth of silicon
2017
Abstract Simulations of 3D anisotropic stress are carried out in and oriented Si crystals grown by FZ and CZ processes for different diameters, growth rates and process stages. Temperature dependent elastic constants and thermal expansion coefficients are used in the FE simulations. The von Mises stress at the triple point line is ~5–11% higher in crystals compared to crystals. The process parameters have a larger effect on the von Mises stress than the crystal orientation. Generally, the crystal has a higher azimuthal variation of stress along the triple point line (~8%) than the crystal (~2%). The presence of a crystal ridge increases the stress beside the ridge and decreases it on the ri…
Validation of a 3D mathematical model for feed rod melting during floating zone Si crystal growth
2019
Abstract A mathematical model of global 3D heat transfer in floating zone silicon single crystal growth process is used to predict the shape of the open melting front of the feed rod. The model is validated using measurement data from research-scale growth experiments. Shape profiles of the open melting front are obtained from the feed rod leftover using a movable dial gauge. Azimuthal asymmetry of the rim of the open melting front is revealed in both simulations and measurements, quantitatively indicating the influence of the main slit of the inductor.
Gel combustion synthesis and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4, ZnFe2O4, and MgFe2O4 using 6-aminohexanoic acid as a new fuel
2020
Abstract For the first time, 6-aminohexanoic acid is used as an alternative fuel in the synthesis of the spinel ferrites with compositions CoFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 using gel combustion synthesis with different oxidizer-to-fuel (O/F) ratios. The gel precursors were studied by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry (DTA/TG), which showed that the ignition temperature depends on the gel precursor, being around 230 °C, 130 °C and 275 °C for CoFe2O4, ZnFe2O4, and MgFe2O4, respectively. These results showed than the 6-aminohexanoic acid has an ignition temperature lower than the urea and the citric acid when were used in the synthesis of the spinel ferrites by gel combustion. More…
Raman characterization of Pb2Na1−xLaxNb5−xFexO15 and Pb0.5(5−x)LaxNb5−xFexO15 (0≤x≤1) solid solutions
2011
Abstract The ferroelectric compounds Pb 2 Na 1− x La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 and Pb 0.5(5− x ) La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 (0≤ x ≤1) with the tungsten bronze type structure have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The evolution of the spectra as a function of composition at room temperature is reported. In the frequency range 200–1000 cm −1 three main A 1 phonons around 240 ( υ 1 ), 630 ( υ 2 ) and 816 ( υ 3 ) cm −1 were observed. The broadening of the Raman lines for high values of x originates from a significant structural disorder. This is in good agreement with the relaxor character of these compositions. The lowest-frequency part of the spectra, below 180 cm −1 , reveals a structural ch…
State-space formulation of scalar Preisach hysteresis model for rapid computation in time domain
2015
A state-space formulation of classical scalar Preisach model (CSPM) of hysteresis is proposed. The introduced state dynamics and memory interface allow to use the state equation, which is rapid in calculation, instead of the original Preisach equation. The main benefit of the proposed modeling approach is the reduced computational effort which requires only a single integration over the instantaneous line segment in the Preisach plane. Numerical evaluations of the computation time and model accuracy are provided in comparison to the CSPM which is taken as a reference model.
On the solution of a parabolic PDE involving a gas flow through a semi-infinite porous medium
2021
Abstract Taking as start point the parabolic partial differential equation with the respective initial and boundary conditions, the present research focuses onto the flow of a sample of waste-water derived from a standard/conventional dyeing process. In terms of a highly prioritized concern, meaning environment decontamination and protection, in order to remove the dyes from the waste waters, photocatalyses like ZnO or TiO2 nanoparticles were formulated, due to their high surface energy which makes them extremely reactive and attractive. According to the basics of ideal fluid, the key point is the gas flow through an ideal porous pipe consisting of nanoparticles bound one to each other, for…
Strain detection in non-magnetic steel by Kerr-microscopy of magnetic tracer layers
2018
Abstract For many applications of steel, e.g. for the evaluation of the fatigue state of components or structures, the characterization of the microscopic strain distribution in the material is important. We present a proof-of-principle for the visualization of such strain distributions by Kerr-microscopy of ferromagnetic tracer layers on nonmagnetic steel sheets. The influence of indentation induced strain on the magnetic domain pattern of 20 nm Galfenol and Permalloy tracer layers on austenitic AISI 904L steel sheets was investigated. The obtained Kerr-microscopy images show a characteristic domain pattern in the strained regions of the steel sheets, which is consistent with a dominant ma…
Effect of nanostructure layout on spin pumping phenomena in antiferromagnet/nonmagnetic metal/ferromagnet multilayered stacks
2017
In this work we focus on magnetic relaxation in Mn80Ir20(12 nm)/Cu(6 nm)/Py(dF) antiferromagnet/Cu/ferromagnet (AFM/Cu/FM) multilayers with different thickness of the ferromagnetic permalloy layer. An effective FM-AFM interaction mediated via the conduction electrons in the nonmagnetic Cu spacer – the spin-pumping effect – is detected as an increase in the linewidth of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra and a shift of the resonant magnetic field. We further find experimentally that the spin-pumping-induced contribution to the linewidth is inversely proportional to the thickness of the Py layer. We show that this thickness dependence likely originates from the dissipative dynamics of …
Domain Walls Motions in Barium Titanate Ceramics
1996
The shear modulus and mechanical loss at low frequencies (0.01, 0.3, 1 Hz) are measured by an inverted pendulum for BaTiO 3 ceramic with large grain sizes. The permittivity and dielectric losses are also investigated for the same material at higher frequencies between 1 and 100 kHz as function of temperature. Those results show several relaxation peaks in the ferroelectric phases. The activation energy of each peak is obtained to be 0.29, 0.45, 0.68, 0.92 eV. The influences of strain amplitude and thermal treatments are studied specially for the mechanical relaxation peak located in the tetragonal phase. All the relaxation peaks could be associated to the interaction of oxygen vacancies in …
