Abstract

In an effort to grow single crystal SiC fibers for seed crystals the following two growth methods have been coupled in this work: traveling solvent and laser heated floating zone to create the solvent-laser heated floating zone (Solvent-LHFZ) crystal growth method. This paper discusses the results of these initial experiments, which includes, source material, laser heating, and analysis of the first ever SiC crystals (confirmed by synchrotron white beam x-ray topography)
