The liquidus temperature and growth-dissolution kinetics of garnet liquid phase epitaxy

Abstract

Growth-dissolution kinetics data for garnet liquid phase epitaxy on (111) substrates are first order and are well represented by Van Erk's function (W. van Erk, J. Crystal Growth 43 (1978) 466) when liquidus temperatures are properly determined by accounting for the nonlinearity of growth-dissolution rate with temperature. © 1979.
