BV-HTRV Bridgman Crystal Growth Furnace

Description

Designed for materials science research, the BV-HTRV furnace from Verder Scientific facilitates crystal growth via the Bridgman technique. This method involves the directional solidification of a melt within a temperature gradient. The unit supports a maximum temperature of 1800°C, with alternative configurations rated for 1700°C or 160°C. It accommodates various processing atmospheres, including oxidizing conditions using air, inert environments with argon or nitrogen gas, and vacuum operation. The capacity specifications of 1.96 and 0.96 are indicative of the furnace's hot zone or crucible dimensions, which are critical parameters for the crystal growth process. This equipment is employed in laboratories focused on developing semiconductor materials, optical crystals, and other advanced single-crystal substances.
