Floating Zone Crystal Growth
Crucible-free growth of oxides, semiconductors, and refractory crystals.
Use for: Solid-State, Ceramic, Powder, and High-Temperature Synthesis. Method focus: solid-state; crystal growth; characterization feedback. Material family: oxides / ceramics; thin films / interfaces. Validation: XRD / diffraction / phase identification; SEM/EDS/EBSD; TEM/STEM/electron diffraction. Safety note: High-temperature work requires crucible compatibility, ventilation, thermal PPE, and cooldown protocols. Powders/nanomaterials require dust, inhalation, contamination, and cleaning controls.
