FURNACE FOR GRAPHITE AND HEXAGONAL BORON NITRIDE CRYSTAL GROWTH
Abstract
A new system will be acquired to investigate the crystal growth of large area (50 mm diameter), thick (greater than1 mm) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphite single crystals. Such crystals would enable tremendous advances in electronics, optoelectronics, photonics, quantum information processing, neutron detection, optical components, and chemical and isotope separations. The crystals will be grown by precipitation from molten metal solutions based on nickel, iron, and chromium at atmospheric pressure. The crystals produced by this technique are excellent quality, matching or exceeding any reported in the literature.
