Bridgman Crystal Growth Modeling

Over the years, many successful attempts have been chapters in this part describe the well-known processes made to describe the art and science of crystal growth, such as Czochralski, Kyropoulos, Bridgman, and o- and many review articles, monographs, symposium v- ing zone, and focus speci cally on recent advances in umes, and handbooks have been published to present improving these methodologies such as application of comprehensive reviews of the advances made in this magnetic elds, orientation of the growth axis, intro- eld. These publications are testament to the grow- duction of a pedestal, and shaped growth.

This is the first-ever textbook on the fundamentals of nucleation, crystal growth and epitaxy.

In this book, authors deal with some crystalline materials synthesized by different methods, their crystal growth in relation to their physical properties or biological activities, and their applications, in particular in biology, medicine, and semiconductors.

In this book, a variety of topics related to crystal growth is extensively discussed. It is intended to provide information on advancements in technologies for crystal growth to physicists, researches, as well as engineers working with single-crystalline functional materials.
