A large grain YBCO bulk superconductor is fabricated by the top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) method. In the TSMG process, the seed crystal is placed on the top surface of a partially melted compact and therefore the seed crystal is frequently tilted during the melt process due to intrinsic unstable nature of Y211 particle +liquid phase mixture. In this work, we report the successful growth of single-domain YBCO bulk superconductors by a bottom-seeded melt growth (BSMG) method. Investigations on the trapped magnetic field and the microstructures of the synthesized specimens show that a bottom-seeded melt growth method has hardly affected on the crystal growth behavior, the microstructure development and the magnetic properties of the large grain YBCO bulk superconductors. The bottom-seeded melt growth method is clearly beneficial for the stable control of seed orientation through the melt process for the fabrication of a large grain YBCO bulk superconductor.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto enamel mineral and synthetic hydroxyapatite seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. Effects of fluoride at low concentrations on the precipitation were also examined in a benchtop crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), as well as chemical analyses, were employed for characterization of both seed materials before and after experimentation. Remarkable findings were that (1) both biological and synthetic seeds at the same total surface areas yielded rather similar precipitation rates at all levels of fluoride concentration in solution and (2) the precipitation rate was accelerated in a manner depending on fluoride concentrations in media. FTIR differential analysis disclosed that the precipitating phase was characterized as poorly crystallized apatite, which incorporated subtle carbonate. Most of the fluoride ions in soution were readily incorporated into crystals. The overall results support the view that the seeded crystal growth model is of value to gain insight into the mechanism of enamel crystal growth under fluoride regimens.

Seeded vapor transport법에 의해 성장된 ZnSe 결정내에서 전위거동을 살펴보았다. (111)과 (100) ZnSe wafer의 etch pit 형상을 관찰하였고 성장된 결정이 높은 전위밀도를 가지면 전위들이 lineage와 cellular 두 가지 형태로 배열됨을 알았다. Seed로부터 측방성장된 부위에서 전위밀도의 변화는 없었으나 수직 성장방향으로는 전위밀도가 감소하였고, 같은 wafer내에서 전위밀도는 wafer center 지역의 전위밀도가 edge부위의 전위밀도 보다 낮았다. 성장된 결정의 평균 전위밀도는 $4{\times}10^4 /\textrm{cm}^2$이었다.

The top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method is an effective approach for the growth of high-quality SiC single crystals. In this method, the temperature gradient in the melt is the key factor determining the crystal growth rate and crystal quality. In this study, the effects of the aperture at the top of the hot-zone on the growth of the SiC single crystal obtained using the TSSG method were evaluated using multiphysics simulations. The temperature distribution and C concentration profile in the Si melt were taken into consideration. The simulation results showed that the adjustment of the aperture at the top of the hot-zone and the temperature gradient in the melt could be finely controlled. The surface morphology, crystal quality, and polytype stability of the grown SiC crystals were investigated using optical microscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The simulation and experimental results suggested that a small temperature gradient at the crystal-melt interface is suitable for growing high-quality SiC single crystals via the TSSG method.

In biological systems, the mineral that forms hard tissue is of an apatitic nature, and hydroxyapatite($Ca_5OH(PO_4)_3$: HA) is generally considered as the prototype for such a mineral. Thus, the precipitation of HA, having biological implications, has been the subject of several investigations. Crystal growth studies using HA seeds in supersaturated solutions have enhanced our understanding of the process and mechanism involved in seeded crystal growth. From these studies, it has become apparent that the precipitation rate of HA onto the seed crystals depends on the various conditions, especially on the additives. The relation between the supersaturated solution containing fluoride and the process of HA crystal growth enhances the understanding of mechanism of HA crystal growth. Until recently, the studies have been on the crystal growth of enamel minerals and synthetic HA seeds in the supersaturated solution containing 1~2 ppm fluoride. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the effect that fluoride of high concentration has on the crystal growth kinetics of HA. In order to produce the composition found in the secretory enamel fluid, experimental solutions of 1mM Ca, 3mM P, and 100mM Tris as background electrolyte were used. Then this experimental solutions were added to 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ppm fluoride. The effect of fluoride at high concentrations on the precipitation was examined in a bench-top crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. Chemical analysis was employed for characterization of working solutions before and after the experimentation. Remarkable findings were : 1) the amount of crystal growth was gradually accelerated as the fluoride concentration increased until 6 ppm, but decreased in 8 and 10 ppm fluoride; 2) the amount of fluoride ion consumed in crystal formation was constant despite the increase in fluoride concentration.

용액성장법에 의한 SiC 단결정 성장은 Si 또는 Si-금속합금의 융액으로부터 SiC를 성장시키는 방법으로서, 통상의 상부종자 용액성장법(Top Seeded Solution Growth)에서는 Si 융액을 담는 흑연도가니로부터 C가 Si 융액에 용해되고 용해된 C이 상부에 위치한 종자결정으로 이동하여 종자결정상에 SiC 형태로 재결정화하는 단계를 거쳐 SiC의 단결정을 성장시키는 과정을 거치게 된다. SiC 용액성장에 있어서는 SiC의 단결정성장을 위하여 흑연도가니의 형상, 크기, 재질 및 상대적 위치 배열 등 온도제어와 유체흐름 제어를 위해 다양한 공정변수를 선정해야한다. 본 연구에서는 용액성장공정의 설계를 위해 상용의 유한요소해석 패키지인 COMSOL Multiphysics를 이용하여 전자기장해석, 열전달해석, 유체해석에 대한 다중물리해석모델을 구축하고 이 모델을 이용하여 결정성장공정을 설계하였다. 해석결과에 기초하여 2 inch off-axis 4H-SiC 단결정을 종자결정으로 적용하여 $1700^{\circ}C$에서 상부종자 용액성장법에 의하여 SiC 단결정을 성장시켰다. 광학현미경 및 고분해능 X선회절분석을 통해 결정성을 분석한 결과 해당 성장조건에서 양호한 품질의 단결정이 성장함을 확인하였다. 이로써 본 연구에서 구축된 다중물리해석모델이 SiC의 용액성장 공정설계에 유효함을 확인하였다.

[ $UO_2$ ] 소결체와 $U_3O_8$종자를 5wt% 첨가한 $UO_2$ 소결체의 치밀화 과정 및 입자성장 양상을 소결 온도 및 시간을 변수로 하여 분석하였다. $UO_2$ 성형체와 5wt% $U_3O_8$ 종자 첨가 성형체를 수소분위기에서 $1300^{\circ}C$에서 $1700^{\circ}C$로 온도를 올려가며 0시간에서 4시간 소결하여 밀도와 입자크기를 측정하였다. $1300^{\circ}C$까지는 종자 첨가에 상관없이 거의 같은 밀도를 가졌지만 온도가 올라가면서 종자 첨가 소결체의 치밀화가 저하되었다가 $1700^{\circ}C$ 근처에서 거의 비슷한 밀도를 가지게 된다. 입자성장의 경우, $1600^{\circ}C$에서는 종자 입자를 제외하면 기지상의 입자 크기는 거의 비슷하지만 $1700^{\circ}C$ 이후에서는 종자첨가 $UO_2$ 소결체의 입자성장이 종자가 첨가되지 않을 경우에 비하여 2배 이상 빠르게 진행되었다.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto human enamel mineral and synthetic hydroxyapatite(HA) seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. Effects of fluoride at high concentrations on the precipitation were also examined in a bench-top crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. The Ca, P and F concentrations and pH values of the inlet and outlet solutions were determined. The recovered solid samples were weighed to assess the amount of minerals precipitated during the experimental period, and finally viewed under a scanning electron microscope. Remarkable findings were that 1) both biological and synthetic seeds with the same total surface areas yielded similar amounts of crystal growth, 2) the amount of crystal growth was accelerated in a manner depending on fluoride concentrations in the media, 3) SEM observations disclosed that without the addition of fluoride, precipitation of thin, plate-like OCP crystals became prominent, but by increasing the fluoride concentration(beyond 1ppm F), rod-like crystals having a pointed edge were most frequently observed, without any evidence for precipitation of the plate-like crystals. Furthermore, the dimension of rod-like crystals was increased in proportion to fluoride concentrations, 4) there was no difference in the morphological feature of precipitated mineral phase upon seeding between human enamel seed and synthetic HA seed. The overall results support the view that the seeded crystal growth model is of value to gain insight into the mechanism of enamel crystal growth under fluoride regimens.

[ $(Y_{0.5}Sm_{0.25}Nd_{0.25})Ba_2Cu_3O_y$ ] [(YSN)-123] high $T_c$ composite superconductors with $CeO_2$ addition were systematically investigated by top seeded melt growth (TSMG) process in air atmosphere. A melt textured $NdBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Nd-123) single crystal was used as a seed for achieving the c-axis alignment large grains perpendicular to the surface of (YSN)-123 composite oxides. The size of $(Y_{0.5}Sm_{0.25}Nd_{0.25})_2BaCuO_5$ [(YSN)211] nonsuperconducting inclusions of the melt textured (YSN)-123 samples with $CeO_2$ addition were remarkably reduced and uniformly distributed within the (YSN)123 superconducting matrix except in the region very close to the Nd-123 seed crystal. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition of 91 K.
