ABSTRACTWe investigated the effect of D-defect in CZ silicon single crystals on the oxygen precipitation by two-step thermal treatments consisting of the first annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1073K and the second annealing in dry oxygen ambient at 1273K. The density of D-defect was measured by counting ‘flow patterns’ using an optical microscope after preferential etching in Secco's solution for 30 minutes. It was found that the amount of oxygen precipitation along the growth axis was not affected by D-defect. The predominant factor of the oxygen precipitation after the two-step thermal process is the nuclei of oxygen precipitation generated around 723K during CZ crystal growth.

ABSTRACTWe investigated phenomena of oxygen precipitation nonuni-formity along crystal growth axis due to different thermal histories during CZ crystal growth. The oxygen precipitation process employed in this paper was two-step thermal treatments consisting of the first annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1073K for 4 hrs and the second annealing in dry oxygen ambient at 1273K for 16 hrs. The amount of the oxygen precipitation at the shoulder of a silicon single crystal was higher than the one at the tail end. We found this nonuniform distribution profile was due to the thermal history around 723K during crystal growth. Such an nonuniformity could be improved remarkably by adding a preannealing in dry oxygen ambient at 723K for 2 hrs before the two-step thermal treatment.

We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO3 single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80 bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with TN∼33.5 K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions, which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO3.

AbstractCeramics based on (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3 are promising candidates for actuator applications because of large strains generated by an electric field-induced phase transition. For example, the (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 system exhibits a morphotropic phase boundary at x = 0.2–0.3, leading to high values of inverse piezoelectric constant d*33, which can be further improved by the use of single crystals. In our previous work, single crystals of (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 and (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 were grown by the solid state crystal growth technique. Growth in the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 system was sluggish whereas the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 single crystals grew well. In the present work, 0.8(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-0.2(Sr1−xCax)TiO3 single crystals (with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were produced by the solid state crystal growth technique in an attempt to improve crystal growth rate. The dependence of mean matrix grain size, single crystal growth distance, and electrical properties on the Ca concentration was investigated in detail. These investigations indicated that at x = 0.3 the matrix grain growth was suppressed and the driving force for single crystal growth was enhanced. Replacing Sr with Ca increased the shoulder temperature Ts and temperature of maximum relative permittivity Tmax, causing a decrease in inverse piezoelectric properties and a change from normal to incipient ferroelectric behavior.
