Buoyancy Convection During the Growth of SixGe1−x by the Traveling Solvent Method (TSM)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The traveling solvent method known as TSM is a process used to produce pure and homogeneous crystals structures. TSM has been tested on many alloys producing uniform and uncontaminated single crystals. In the present study the effect of buoyancy convection on the growth of the Si0.02Ge0.98 crystal grown by the traveling solvent method is investigated under different heating conditions. The full Navier-Stokes equations together with the energy and solutal equations are solved numerically using the finite element technique. The model takes into consideration the losses of heat by radiation and the use of the phase diagram to determine the silicon concentration at the growth interface. Results reveal a strong convection in the solvent, which in turn is detrimental to the growth uniformity in the crystal rod. Additional numerical results show that the convective heat transfer significantly influences the solute distribution in the liquid zone and affects the growth rate substantially. Qualitative comparison of the numerical results with the experiment conducted at Dalhousie University showed a good agreement for the silicon concentration at the growth interface.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
