PREPARATION OF MOLYBDENUM SINGLE CRYSTALS BY ELECTRON-BEAM FLOATING-ZONE MELTING,
Abstract
The paper briefly describes the design and operation of a 1.5 kw electron-beam floating-zone melting unit. Using this unit molybdenum single crystals 4 mm in diam eter and 2 to 5 cm long were prepared, and the laboratory technique of preparing single crystals with controlled orientation was mastered. The molybdenum single crystals prepared showed no preferred orientation; microscopic examination disclosed a large number of terraces on the crystal surface (with step heights ranging from 0.000023 to 0.00063 cm), which were tentatively identified as evaporation terraces.
