Melt menisci during single-crystal tube growth by the Stepanov method

The stability of the liquid menisci formed during the growth of single-crystal tubes by the Stepanov method and, in particular, by the floating zone method used to purify crystals, has been investigated. The results obtained can be used in practice to grow crystals by various capillary shaping metho...
