Abstract To investigate the solution convection in the rotational Bridgman method, both flow patterns and temperature distributions were calculated by solving three equations in 3-dimensional analysis: Navier-Stokes, continuity and energy. We focused on the relationship between ampoule rotational rate and temperature distribution in the growth solution reservoir. In the 3-dimensional model, In-Ga-Sb solution was put between GaSb seed and feed crystals, where seed and feed crystals were cylindrical in shape, and the In-Ga-Sb solution was semi-cylindrical. The ampoule rotational rate was changed in a range of 0 to 100 rpm. By increasing the ampoule rotational rate, the More >
