Abstract
The effects of accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) on the segregation, interface shape, and morphological instability during vertical Bridgman (VB) crystal growth of succinonitrile (SCN) containing 0.064 wt% acetone were investigated by visualization experiments and computer simulation. It was found that ACRT was effective in reducing time-averaged constitutional supercooling and thus the morphological instability. However, at low rotation amplitudes, the morphology was less stable and the breakdown area was found to be wider as a result of flow transition. The simulated interface shapes were in good agreement with the observed ones. In addition, the onset of morphological breakdown was consistent with the numerical prediction based on the time-averaged constitutional supercooling.
