A top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) is a method of growing SiC single crystal from the Si melt dissolved the carbon. In this study, multiphysics modeling was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, a commercialized finite element analysis package, to get analytic results about electromagnetic analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow in the Si melt. Experimental results showed good agreements with simulation data, which supports the validity of the simulation model. Based on the understanding about solution growth of SiC and our set-up, crystal growth was conducted on off-axis 4H-SiC seed crystal in the temperature range of $1600{\sim}1800^{\circ}C$. The grown layer showed good crystal quality confirmed with optical microscopy and high resolution X-ray diffraction, which also demonstrates the effectiveness of the multiphysics model to find a process condition of solution growth of SiC single crystal.

Czochralski (CZ) growth process is one of the most important techniques for growing high quality sapphire single crystal for LED application. In this study, the inductively-heated CZ growth processes for the sapphire crystal of 300 mm length have been analyzed numerically using finite element method. The hot zone structures were modified with the crucible geometry change and the additional insulation layer installed above the crucible. The results show that the solid-liquid interface height decreased from about 80 mm at initial stage to 40 mm after mid-stage due to achieve the growth speed balance. Also the optimal input power of the modified system was similar with the original one due to the compensation effects of the crucible geometry and additional insulation. The crystal temperature grown by the modified CZ grower was increased about 10 K than the original one. Therefore the sapphire crystal of 300 mm height was grown successfully.

Potassium lithium niobate(KLN) single crystal for a nonlinear-optic material, which changes the wavelength of lasers, has a ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze structure at room temperature. It has been very hard to get single crystals of good quality due to the cracks during cooling process. In order to investigate the composition change due to the evaporation of solution during the growth, the thermogravimetric analysis was carried out. In atmospheric condition at $1000^{\circ}C$ which is about $10^{\circ}C$ higher than the crystal growing temperature, the weight change was negligible amount of $1.46{\times}10^{-5}$g/($\textrm{cm}^2$hr). By using both the Pt plate as the nucleation site and the slow cooling method with temperature fluctuation, KLN single crystal of good quality of size 1 cm could be obtained. The phase transition temperature was $490^{\circ}C$, which was higher than that reported by other researchers of the other composition. The optical anisotropy due to the absorption of OH-band exists in the range of IR.

Cd1-xCoxIn2Se4($\chi$=0.000, 0.001, 0.005, 0.10, 0.50) 단결정을 수직 Bridgman 방법으로 성장시키고 성장된 단결정의 조성 및 결정구조를 조사하고 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 성장된 단결정은 pesudocubic 구조이고 격자상수는 조성$\chi$가 증가함에 따라 약간씩 감소하였다. 기초 흡수단 영역에서의 광흡수 spectra 측정에서 이 단결정들은 간접전이 및 직접전이 및 직접전이 energy gap을 갖고 있으며 이들 energy gap의 조성의존성은 조성이 $\chi$=0.00에서 $\chi$=0.016까지는 기울기가 같고 $\chi$=0.016에서 기울 기가 변화되어서 $\chi$=0.016에서 $\chi$=0.50까지는 같은 기울기를 갖고 있다. 이러한 현상은 $\chi$=0.016에서부터 CdIn2Se4 내에 cobalt를 포함한 새로운 물질이 형성되고 이 물질과 a-CdIn2Se4 사이에 고체고용체를 형 성하기 때문이다.

Mn-Zn ferrite single crystals show some fluctuations in composition along the direction of growth by the conventional Bridgman method. The single crystal with a uniform composition was obtained by maintaining the liquid composition content. For example, two batches of powder were prepared : one is consisted of 52 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 30 mol% of MnO, and 18 mol% Zn(Composition A), and the other 53 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 28.5 mol% of MnO, and 18.5 mol% ZnO(Composition B). Crack-free single crystals with the uniform composition B were grown in a size of 60mm diameter, 300mm long by melting the pellets of composition A and followed by supplying the composition B as tablets. Initial permeabilities were obtained above 600 at 5 MHz in the region of 30~270 mm along the direction of growth.

Single crystals of $ZnWO_4$ with [100], [010] and [001] directions were successfully grown by the Czochralski method. The seed crystals for the single crystal growth of $ZnWO_4$ could be induced by the crystal growth using platinum wires applied by the capillary action from the melt. The growth conditions in each direction were investigated in terms of the variations of rotation speed, pulling rate and diameter of the grown crystals. The formation of cracking in the grown crystals during the cooling process could be prevented by annealing effect. The growth directions of the grown crystals were determined using Laue back reflection. The microscopic characteristics of the grown crystals in each direction were discussed, and their physical properties were evaluated for hardness, thermal expansion coefficients and dielectric constants.
