Certain materials used in lasers are made by a process called epitaxial semiconductor crystal growth. In this report a mathematical model is developed for this growth process which occurs on a substrate at the junction between a masked region and exposed substrate in a vapor. This new model consists of two partial differential equations; one for the surface dynamics and one for the crystal grow...

Crystal dissolution may include three component processes: interface reaction, diffusion and complications due to convection. We report here a theoretical and experimental study of crystal dissolution in silicate melt without convection. A reaction-diffusion equation is developed and numerically solved. The results show that during non-convective crystal dissolution in silicate melt, the interf...

It is well-known that the harsh operational conditions of turbine blades lead to a gradual change in the microstructure of underlying Ni-based superalloy of blades. According to this, a rejuvenation process should be conducted on turbine blades superalloys to recover their microstructures. The first and main step of rejuvenation process is the determination of appropriate solution condition in ...

In this paper we describe a semianalytical approach to computing the temperature and thermal stress inside a III-V compound grown with the Czochralski technique. An analysis of the growing conditions indicates that the crystal growth occurs on the conductive time scale. A perturbation method for the temperature field is developed for an arbitrary crystal profile using the Biot number as a (smal...

A new two-dimensional manganese(II) coordination polymer, [Mn(μ-DEP)(μ-Cl)(H2O)2]n (1) (DEP is diethyl phosphate), was prepared from the reaction of MnCl2.4H2O and TEP (TEP is triethyl phosphate) ligand in mixture of H2O/CH3OH (1:10) at 40 °C. Suitable crystals of this complex for crystal structure determination were obtained by slow evaporation of the produced colorless solution at room temper...
