Flight experiment on acousto-optic crystal growth
Abstract
The physical vapor transport method was used for growing mercurous chloride crystals in different convective conditions. Optical homogeneity is found to be extremely dependent on convection levels. Results of numerical studies indicate that for a gravity level of 0.001 g or less the Stefan wind drives the flow and no recirculating cells are observed.
