A numerical simulation study was carried out to shed light on the effects of applied crucible rotation and static magnetic field during the traveling heater method growth of bulk SiGe single crystals. The simulation results show that the application of crucible rotation weakens the radial silicon concentration gradient due to the effect of centrifugal force. The effects of applied static magnetic field direction and strength on the concentration field in the melt were also studied. It was found that the simultaneous application of crucible rotation and static magnetic field is best to grow large crystals with uniform composition. An optimum combination of crucible rotation rates and applied magnetic field strengths is determined.

A numerical simulation study has been carried out to examine the effect of a static magnetic field on the solidification process of an alloy. A mathematical model, based on the continuum model, was developed for the computation of a transient double-diffusive fluid flow under Lorentz body force. The model includes conservation of mass and momentum, heat, species and electrical charge balance equations. The simulation domain was selected as a cavity filled with a metallic alloy and differentially heated, which may be taken as a Bridgman model domain used in the crystal growth process. The solution is carried out by using a Finite Volume Method. Study of the direction and the intensity of the applied magnetic field effects on stabilizing the double diffusive flow field were also carried out. Simulation results indicate that the use of a static, magnetic field in this growth setup is effective in suppressing natural convection in the solution.

Single crystals of trigonal neodymium scandoborate NdSc3(BO3)4 were grown by the group method from a solution-melt based on bismuth trimolybdate. The molar heat capacity C(T) was studied in the temperature range 2-300 K and magnetic fields up to 9 T. The experimental curve was approximated by the combined Debye-Einstein model. The lattice contribution was determined from ab-initio calculations. Schottky anomaly was observed in the low-temperature region C(T) with the applied magnetic field.

AC resistivity measurements in fields up to 8 Tesla in fully oxygenated and oxygen deficient single crystals of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ are presented. Fully oxygenated crystals show the characteristic ‘fantail’ broadening in magnetic field where the onset temperature remains virtually independent of the applied magnetic field and the zero resistance temperature decreases dramatically. However, in oxygen deficient crystals, the temperature dependence of the resistivity undergoes a change in shape at high magnetic fields. These results are compared with the recently discovered highest Tc=11.6 K organic superconductor κ- (ET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2] Br where the shape of the resistive transition for H||b undergoes a change from a ‘fantail’ resistive broadening in magnetic field to that of a more conventional low Tc superconductor.
