In this paper, we present our new setup and technique for obtaining a real-time 3-D volume shape of the SiC crystal using X-ray computed tomography (CT). Hence, it is possible to determine in-situ the shape of the growth interface with high precision at growth temperatures above 2000 °C in a conventional 3" physical vapor transport (PVT) growth system. We show that the size and shape of a facet can be monitored at different stages during growth and furthermore the crystals face boundary can be determined with high precision throughout the whole growth process.

In this paper, we present for the first time an in-situ 3-D reconstruction of the SiC crystal growth interface using X-ray computed tomography (CT). We show that the shape of the growth interface can be determined with high precision at growth temperatures above 2100 °C in a conventional 3” PVT (physical vapor transport) growth system.

This document provides details on the files available in the dataset “Overhang Part X4” pertaining to a three-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing (AM) build performed on the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed (AMMT) by Ho Yeung and Brandon Lane on June 28, 2019. The files include the input command files, materials data, in-situ process monitoring data, and metadata. This data is one of a set of “AMMT Process Monitoring Datasets”, as part of the Metrology for Real-Time Monitoring of Additive Manufacturing project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Ex-situ part characterization data, including X-ray computed tomography (XCT) measurements, will be provided as it is made available. Readers should refer to the AMMT datasets web page for updates.

X-ray computed tomography technique was used to observe microstructure formation during freeze-drying. A specially designed vacuum freeze-drying stage was equipped at the X-ray CT stage, and the frozen and dried microstructures of dextrin solutions were successfully observed. It was confirmed that the many parts of the pore microstructures formed as a replica of the original ice microstructures, whereas some parts formed as a consequence of the dehydration dependent on the relaxation level of the glassy phases, suggesting that the post-freezing annealing is advantageous for avoiding quality loss that relates to the structural deformation of glassy matters. Keywords: freeze-drying; X-ray CT; ice microstructure; glassy state
