Laser Diode Floating Zone Crystal Growth of Novel Materials with Goniopolarity and Other Extreme Functional Properties
Abstract
Ohio State university (OSU) propose to acquire instrumentation that will give researchers at OSU, Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), and across the region the capabilities to grow single crystal rods (4-14 mm diameter, up to 10 cm length) of a broad range of compounds such as oxides, silicides, alloys, and intermetallics, to better understand and control novel physical phenomena of interest to the AFOSR and broader DOD missions. This includes a laser diode floating zone furnace (LDFZ), which is the most versatile, fast, and crucible-free method for growing single crystal rods of a large number of materials including incongruently and congruently melting phases.
