Heat and mass transfer during crystal growing by the Czochralski method with a submerged vibrator

TL;DR

This paper investigates how submerged vibrations can enhance heat and mass transfer during crystal growth by the Czochralski method, potentially improving growth rates and crystal quality.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach of using submerged vibrators to intensify transfer processes and optimize crystal growth in the Czochralski method.

Findings

Vibrations increase melt mixing and heat transfer.

Vibrations reduce boundary layer thickness.

Vibrations can boost crystal growth rate.

Abstract

It was shown that the vibrations can intensify of heat-mass transfer and mixing of the melt, and also to reduce dynamic and temperature boundary layers and to increase a temperature gradient on melt/crystal interface, that can to increase rate of crystal growth by the Czochralski method with a submerged vibrator. It is can be very impotent for manufacturing and quality of crystals.
