Book Description

The report describes the design, installation, calibration and test of one of the high temperature crystal growing furnace systems of the Solid State Sciences Laboratory of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. A number of the modifications and innovations that make this system unique are described. Pictures and diagrams of the furnace and associated apparatus and component specifications are sufficiently complete to provide substantial aid in the operation or duplication of this facility. The furnace has been operated above 2800C for short periods of time (hours) and above 2000C for extended periods (days). It has been in operation for over a year and more than 50 separate experiments have been conducted. (Author).
