Abstract

This paper presents efficient numerical methods—the “inverse modeling” method and the adaptive finite element method—for optimizing the heat transport as well as for investigating the heat and mass transport under the influence of convection during crystal growth, especially near the liquid/solid interface. These methods have been applied to industrial Bridgman-furnaces for the growth of 65–75 mm diameter (Cd,Zn)Te crystals.
