A one-dimensional model to predict the growth conditions of InxGa1−xAs alloy crystals grown by the traveling liquidus-zone method

The traveling liquidus-zone (TLZ) method has been used effectively to grow ternary alloy single crystals of uniform composition. In this study, a one-dimensional model is presented to predict the growth conditions of this technique. It was shown that under the assumed growth conditions, the model gives accurate predictions for the growth conditions of the TLZ method including the composition of the grown crystals. Numerical results agree with those of experiments.
