Instabilities During Crystal Growth (Experiments)

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Phenomena at Phase Transitions and Instabilities

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 77))

Abstract

In this paper mainly instabilities during crystal growth from the melt (during freezing) are discussed. The solid-liquid transition shows several asymmetries with respect to freezing and melting. The non faceted — faceted transition and the sharp interface -diffuse interface transition occur during the freezing process only. There are dissimilarities in the dynamics of freezing and melting at conditions far from thermodynamical equilibrium. They might origin from the diffuse interface layer which first has been detected at growing ice single crystals by quasi elastic light scattering.
