Progress of Microgravity Material Research During the Period of 2007-2009

Orbital experimental researches on crystal growth of Mn-doped GaSb and Bi_2Se_(0.21)Te_(2.79) are briefly summarized. The space experiments were completed in September of 2007 on broad the Foton-M3 satellite of Russia. Ground-based researches on the solidification behaviors of Al-Al3Ni, Al-Al_2Cu, Ag-Cu eutectic, Al-Pb monotectic and Cu-Co peritectic alloys in a 50-meter-high drop tube were investigated. New experimental results on the ultrasonic field and the temperature recycling induced to chiral symmetry breaking of NaClO_3 crystal also were reported in the present paper
