Accelerated crucible rotation technique

Application of the accelerated crucible rotation technique to the Bridgman growth of CdxHgi xTe simulations and crystal growth ,... 

Use of Forced Mixing via the Accelerated Crucible Rotation Technique (ACRT) in Bridgman Growth of Cadmium Mercury Telluride (CMT)... 

This chapter is split into 4 sections. The first deals briefly with purification of elemental mercury and tellurium, the second covers bulk growth of CMT by the Bridgman process and the third describes the addition of the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) to the basic Bridgman process. Finally, a few comments on the devices that have been and continue to be made from this material are given. 

Historically, the first technique used at SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Infrared Ltd. was the Bridgman process. Later, the emphasis switched to the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT), a modification of the Bridgman process. Reviews of bulk growth can be found in [2,4]. 

Crystal-Growth Technology for Ternary lll-V Semiconductor Production by Vertical Bridgman and Vertical Gradient Freezing Methods with Accelerated Crucible Rotation Technique... 

Two-inch LGS single crystals were grown via the vertical Bridgman method assisted by the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) along [0001] (Z-axis), [211 0] (X-axis) and [0111] (54°-rotated Y-axis) for piezoelectric applications.
