    Contactless processing of SiGe-melts in EML under reduced gravity
    ([New York, NY] : Nature Publ. Group, 2016) Luo, Yuansu; Damaschke, Bernd; Schneider, Stephan; Lohöfer, Georg; Abrosimov, Nikolay; Czupalla, Matthias; Samwer, Konrad
    The processing of semiconductors based on electromagnetic levitation is a challenge, because this kind of materials shows a poor electrical conductivity. Here, we report the results of measurements of the thermophysical properties obtained recently from highly doped semiconductors Si1-x Ge x under microgravity conditions in the framework of parabola flight campaigns. Due to the limited time of about 20 s of microgravity especially Ge-rich samples with low melting temperatures were investigated. The measurements were performed contactlessly by video techniques with subsequent digital image processing. Linear and volume thermal expansion coefficients were measured hereby from image data. An anomaly of volume changes near the solidus temperature is visible. Viscosity and surface tension were determined by the oscillating drop technique using optic and electronic data. It was observed that the alloying of Si into Ge increases the surface tension of the melts. The viscosity is following an Arrhenius equation and shows a crossover temperature which separates simple liquid at high temperatures from cooperative liquid at low temperatures.

    Maximally dissipative solutions for incompressible fluid dynamics
    (Cham (ZG) : Springer International Publishing AG, 2021) Lasarzik, Robert
    We introduce the new concept of maximally dissipative solutions for a general class of isothermal GENERIC systems. Under certain assumptions, we show that maximally dissipative solutions are well-posed as long as the bigger class of dissipative solutions is non-empty. Applying this result to the Navier–Stokes and Euler equations, we infer global well-posedness of maximally dissipative solutions for these systems. The concept of maximally dissipative solutions coincides with the concept of weak solutions as long as the weak solutions inherits enough regularity to be unique.
