The defect structure at the growth front of 4H-SiC boules grown using the physical vapor transport (PVT) method has been investigated using high resolution x-ray diffraction and x-ray topography. The crystal parameters such as the c-lattice constant exhibited characteristic variations across the growth front, which appeared to be caused by variation in surface morphology of the as-grown surface of the boules rather than the defect structure underneath the surface. X-ray topography also revealed that basal plane dislocations are hardly nucleated at the growth front during PVT growth of 4H-SiC crystals.

The aim of the present work is to study the structural properties of 3C-SiC which is grown on (0001) 6H-SiC and on (100) 3C-SiC (Hoya) seeds using the Continuous Feed Physical Vapor Transport (CF-PVT) method. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) observations confirm that the overgrown layer is of the 3C-SiC polytype. In the case of the 6H-SiC substrate, microtwins (MTs), stacking faults (SFs) and dislocations (D) are observed at the substrate-overgrown interface with most of the dislocations annihilating within the first few µm from the interface. In the case of 3C-SiC crystals grown on 3C seeds, repeated SFs are formed locally and also coherent (111) twins of 3C-SiC are frequently observed near the surface. The SF density is reduced at the uppermost part of the grown material.

AbstractIn this paper, we report results from AlN single crystal growth experiments using a sublimation physical vapor transport growth technique. AlN single crystal boules up to 7mm in diameter were demonstrated. Characterization of polished AlN single crystal samples was carried out using various techniques, including synchrotron X-ray topography.

AbstractSynthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes with the formula [ZnLn(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)x(MeOH)1-x]NO3 · n H2O · n MeOH [Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2)] and the crystal and molecular structure of [ZnNd(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)] [ZnNd(HL)(OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)2 · n H2O · n MeOH (3) are reported. The asymmetrical compartmental ligand (E)-2-(1-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) is formed from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation, resulting in a peripheral imidazoline ring. The structures of 1–3 were revealed by X-ray crystallography. The smaller ZnII ion occupies the inner N2O2 compartment of the ligand, whereas the larger and more oxophilic LnIII ions are found in the outer O2O2’ site. Graphic Abstract Synthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes (Ln = Pr, Nd) bearing an asymmetrical compartmental ligand formed in situ from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation are reported.
