Abstract
The temperature dependence of the rate of growth of Na2B4O7 from its melt was determined between 1° and 192°C of undercooling. The maximum rate of growth was 2000 μm/min at 57°C of undercooling. Analysis of the growth data indicated that growth could occur by a screw dislocation mechanism over the entire range of undercooling. When this mechanism was assumed, there was good correlation between the experimental data and the predictions of the Turnbull and Cohen equation.
