  • The macro defects of $LiNbO_3$ crystals grown by the Czochralski method were strongly influenced by the single crystal growth parameters such as growth rate, thermal gradient and crystal rotation rate. The optimum growth conditions of a $LiNbO_3$ single crystal with 1" in diameter were $70~100^{circ}C/cm$ temperature gradient, 5~10 mm/hr growth rate and 40 rpm crystal rotation rate. In these conditions, we could grow crystals which had no cellular structure with easy diameter control, and any crack was not formed after the crystal was cooled.oled.

  • Nuclear magnetic resonance of $^{133}Cs$ in a $CsMnCl_{3}$ single crystal grown by the Czochralski method has been investigated by employing a Bruker FT NMR spectrometer. The $^{133}Cs$ resonance of two different groups were recorded. Various transitions belonging to two cesium spectra of a different intensity ratio are analyzed. The quadrupole coupling constant of Cs(I) is $0.15{\pm}0.01$ MHz, and that of Cs(II) is $0.21{\pm}0.01$ MHz. The anisotropy parameter is zero for both. The principal axes of the EFG tensors for these two sites are found to be the same. The Z axis, conventionally the largest component of the EFG tensor, is parallel to the crystallographic c-axis.

  • This paper reports the characteristics of TFTs, formed inside a location-controlled grain: "single-crystalline" Si TFTs (c-Si TFTs). Position of the grains were controlled with a great precision by "${\mu}-Czochralski$ (grain-filter) process". Effects of process parameters, such as, deposition method of gate $SiO_2$, crystallization energy density and position of the channel with respect to the grain filters on TFT characteristics is investigated. It is concluded that the characteristics of TFTs drastically improved by avoiding the grain filter from the channel region. With TFTs having the current-flow direction parallel to radial direction from the grain-filter, electron mobility and subthreshold swing of 600 $cm^2/Vs$ and 0.21 V/dec. respectively are obtained.

  • $CsSrCl_{3}$ crystal was grown using Czochralski method from equimolar mixture of CsCl and $SrCl_{2}$. The spectrum range of the luminescence excited by 205 nm of wavelength was about $280{\sim}550$ nm, and its peak emission appeared at 343 nm. The luminescence decay curve of the $CsSrCl_{3}$ revealed two exponential components with time constants of 60 ns and 700 ns. The energy resolution for $^{137}Cs$ 662 keV ${\gamma}$-ray was 10.3 %. The pulse shape was linear at high energy, but some deviation existed in the low energy region.

  • Eu or Fe doped BGO scintillation crystals were grown by Czochralski method. In order to get information about traps in the grown BGO crystals, we measured trap parameters including activation energy, frequency factor and the kinetic order of thermoluminescence, and compared such parameters with thermoluminescent characteristics of pure BGO scintillation crystals. In addition, optical transmittance of the grown BGO crystals was measured.

  • Micro-defects in the undoped and MgO-doped $LiNbO_3$ single crystals, which were grown from a congruent melting composition (48.6 mol% $Li_2$O) by the CZ (Czochralski) method, were analyzed using microscopic techniques such as optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Effects of the dopant and g value (the fraction solidfied) on the domain structure and micro-defect were investigated to build a corelationship with a growth condition of crystal. It was observed that the micro-defect concentrated near the domain wall is caused by high stress. Especially, the micro-defect was observed to be biased toward a certain side of the domain wall.

  • The temperature dependence of $^{23}Na$ nuclear magnetic resonance in a $NaMnCl_{3}$ single crystal grown by the Czochralski method has been investigated by employing a Bruker FT NMR spectrometer operating at 4.7 T. The quadrupole coupling constant of $^{23}Na$ in $NaMnCl_{3}$ increases as the temperature increases. The temperature dependence of $e^{2}qQ/h$ may be fitted with a linear equation of the form $e^{2}qQ/h=155+0.117(T-T_{r})\;kHz$ for the temperature range of 140-380 K.

  • Silicon is the most abundant metal element in the Earth's crust. Metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) is an important metal that has wide industrial applications, such as a deoxidizer in the steelmaking industry, alloying elements in the aluminum industry, the preparation of organosilanes, and the production of electronic-grade silicon, which is used in the electronics industry as well as solar cells. MG-Si is produced industrially by the reduction smelting of silicon dioxide with carbon in the form of coal, coke, or wood chips in electric arc furnaces. MG-Si is purified by chemical treatments, such as the Siemens process. Most single-crystal silicon is produced using the Czochralski method. These smelting and refining methods will be helpful for the development of new recycling processes using secondary silicon resources.

  • Lithium niobate single crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios were grown by the Czochralski method from melts having compositions varing between 48.6 ~ 58.0 mol % $Li_2O$. A vapor transport equilibration technique has been used to improve the homogeneity and adjust the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in small $LiNbO_3$ single crystals grown by the Czochralski method. When equilibrated with a Li-rich powder (65 mol%$Li_2O$), containing a mixture of $LiNbO_3$ and $Li_3NbO_4$, crystals of nearly stoichiometric composition can be obtained. This was established by studying the composition dependence of the following properties; lineshape, intensity and linewidth for the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of $Fe^{3+}$ energy of the fundamental absorption edge and $OH^-$ absorption spectra.

  • Thermoluminescent properties of $Li_2B_4O_7$ single crystal grown by Czochralski method have been investigated. The high quality $Li_2B_4O_7$ single crystal without core was obtained at rotation speed of 10 rpm for seed crystal and pulling speed below $0.18\;mm{\cdot}h^{-1}$. The structure of $Li_2B_4O_7$ single crystal was classified as tetragonal by XRD analysis. The TL glow curve was composed with three overlapped peaks which can be easily deconvoluted and the TL response of $Li_2B_4O_7$ single crystal TLD to X-ray radiation is linear within the range of $50\;mGy{\sim}1.5\;Gy$. Activation energies of three TL glow peaks analyzed by the various heating rates method and PL spectrum were 0.93, 1.78 and 2.25 eV, respectively.
