Abstract
A new method has been devised to pull crystal ribbons from the free surface of a melt without using a shaping aperture. In this method the crystal ribbon is pulled in a direction parallel to the melt surface while the heat of crystallization is removed in a direction perpendicular to the melt surface with a heat sink in contact with the upper surface of the ribbon. Special features of the growth process are discussed and variations of the technique are presented. Crystal ribbons of ice and germanium have been grown.
