Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals stronger intermolecular interactions between PCL and PVPh than those in PCL/PVC, which may account for the morphology and orientation difference of PCL crystallization in the two blends.

To overcome these challenges, we apply a physics-based heat transfer model, parametrized by measurements from synchrotron experiments and a machine-learning (ML) algorithm, to simulate the temperature distributions of samples heated in an OFZ furnace in a vacuum environment. This model is used to quantitatively understand how the sample maximum temperature and temperature gradient (key parameters that influence the success of crystal growth) are affected by the rod size, rod shape, and heat-zone position on the rod.

Of particular interest is the ability to grow the metastable wurtzite crystal, which is commercially unavailable in semiconductors such as GaAs and SiGe. The successful growth of wurtzite GaAs nanowires has been demonstrated by precise control of the wetting contact angle of the catalyst particle. However, a recent discovery revealed an inherent limitation, known as the critical length, which restricts the maximum achievable aspect, length-to-diameter, ratio in wurtzite GaAs nanowire below 100. Here, we demonstrate the growth of wurtzite GaAs nanowire above the cirtical length with a stacking fault density of 10 SF/μm and precise crystal phase control down to the monolayer regime using Ga-pulses. The crystal phase control by Ga-pulsing is investigated as a function of pulse duration, frequency and position along the nanowire length.

Conversely, the valence band maximum and the conduction band minimum of β- BaIn<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub> are predominantly governed by Se and In atomic orbitals, respectively. The calculated birefringence values of Ba<sub>5</sub>In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>8</sub> and β-BaIn<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub> are 0.05 and 0.106 @1064 nm, respectively. The large birefringence of β-BaIn<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub> suggests that it is a potential infrared birefringent material.</p>","PeriodicalId":34,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Growth & Design","volume":"25 17","pages":"7200–7207"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144928961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
