Abstract
For the gradient freeze technique, a tubular furnace is typically used that has an axial temperature gradient. Directional solidification of a molten material contained within this furnace is caused by slowly decreasing the temperature. Normally, the furnace is vertical with the temperature increasing with height. Since this thermal configuration produces little buoyancy-driven convection in a pure material, it is generally referred to as ‘thermally stable’.
