Numerical modelling for convection in growth/dissolution of solid solution CdXHg1−XTe by liquid-phase epitaxy

The paper presents a numerical study of natural convection in the liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) of ternary compounds. 2D computer simulation of LPE techniques that make use of dissolution of the substrate prior to growth is carried out. The computed data allow to specify the region of experimental cond...

Description
Summary:The paper presents a numerical study of natural convection in the liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) of ternary compounds. 2D computer simulation of LPE techniques that make use of dissolution of the substrate prior to growth is carried out. The computed data allow to specify the region of experimental conditions, such as melt thickness, cooling rate, initial superheating, etc., that are favorable for obtaining epitaxial heterostructures with a uniform thickness and a homogeneous composition distribution across the substrate area.
