    Heading for brighter and faster β-Ga2O3 scintillator crystals
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2022) Drozdowski, Winicjusz; Makowski, Michał; Bachiri, Abdellah; Witkowski, Marcin E.; Wojtowicz, Andrzej J.; Swiderski, Lukasz; Irmscher, Klaus; Schewski, Robert; Galazka, Zbigniew
    Czochralski-grown β-Ga2O3 and β-Ga2O3:Si crystals with the free electron concentrations between 2.5·1016 and 4.3·1018 cm−3 have been characterized by means of pulse height and scintillation time profile measurements in order to assess their basic scintillation properties. At room temperature, with increasing free electron concentration in the studied range, the scintillation yields decrease from 8920 to 1930 ph/MeV, while the mean scintillation decay times pare down from 989 to 61 ns. However, when the brightest β-Ga2O3 sample is cooled down below 100 K, its scintillation yield exceeds 20000 ph/MeV.

    Low temperature thermoluminescence of β-Ga2O3 scintillator
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2022) Witkowski, Marcin E.; Drozdowski, Konrad J.; Makowski, Michał; Drozdowski, Winicjusz; Wojtowicz, Andrzej J.; Irmscher, Klaus; Schewski, Robert; Galazka, Zbigniew
    Low temperature thermoluminescence of β-Ga2O3, β-Ga2O3:Al and β-Ga2O3:Ce has been investigated. Glow curves have been analyzed quantitatively using a rate equations model in order to determine the traps parameters, such as activation energies, capture cross-sections and probabilities of recombination and retrapping.

    Mathematical modeling of Czochralski type growth processes for semiconductor bulk single crystals
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Dreyer, Wolfgang; Druet, Pierre-Étienne; Klein, Olaf; Sprekels, Jürgen
    This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and simulation of crystal growth processes by the so-called Czochralski method and related methods, which are important industrial processes to grow large bulk single crystals of semiconductor materials such as, e.,g., gallium arsenide (GaAs) or silicon (Si) from the melt. In particular, we investigate a recently developed technology in which traveling magnetic fields are applied in order to control the behavior of the turbulent melt flow. Since numerous different physical effects like electromagnetic fields, turbulent melt flows, high temperatures, heat transfer via radiation, etc., play an important role in the process, the corresponding mathematical model leads to an extremely difficult system of initial-boundary value problems for nonlinearly coupled partial differential equations ...
