  1. 3D Modeling and Simulation of Hg2Cl2 Crystal Growth by Physical Vapor Transport Joseph Dobmeier Advisor: Patrick Tebbe Minnesota State University November 2011

  2. Introduction • Hg2Cl2 crystals are useful for their acousto-optic properties • Used to construct acousto-optic modulators and tunable filters in the low UV and long wave infrared regions 8-10μm[1] Image from Kima et. al., 2008 • Applications include: laser Q-switches, fiber-optic signal modulators, spectrometer frequency control

  3. Introduction • Two technologically mature and commercially available materials for this region are Terillium Oxide (TeO2) and Thalium Arsenide-Selenide (TAS) Image from http://www.olympusfluoview.com/theory/aotfintro.html • TeO2 is fragile and prone to damage • TAS is extremely toxic and requires specialized handling

  4. Introduction Images from Kima et. al., 2008

  5. Outline • Modeling • Simulation • Results • Future Research Directions

  6. Modeling • Four conservation equations[2-4]:

  7. Modeling • Geometry: • Vertically oriented 5x5cm cylinder with the source at the bottom • Boundary conditions: • Walls: no slip, adiabatic, and impermeable • Source and sink: constant temperature, tangential velocity of zero, normal velocity calculated using Fick’s law and Dalton’s law of partial pressures[6]

  8. Outline • Modeling • Simulation • Results • Future Research Directions

  9. Simulation • Performed by a commercially available code FIDAP, a product of Fluent Inc. • Capabilities extended to physical vapor transport process through the use of a subroutine • Subroutine determines the boundary nodal velocities by a finite difference calculation of the mass fraction derivatives • Each nodal velocity was then scaled to ensure source and crystal mass flux average values satisfied the continuity equation[2] • Initial conditions for velocity were zero, a linear profile was selected for the concentration profile

  10. Simulation • Mesh density: • Parametric studies were performed in 2D on the mesh density • Three sizes were compared: • 31x31 • 61x61 • 121x121 • Flowfield development was found to be identical, but some small-scale recirculation cells were not captured • A frequency analysis was undertaken comparing the oscillatory regions which agreed across densities

  11. Simulation

  12. Simulation • Table of parameters used in study (Ts = 330°C):

  13. Outline • Modeling • Simulation • Results • Future Research Directions

  14. Results • Case 1:

  15. Results • Case 2:

  16. Results • Case 5:

  17. Results Case 5 (0.33, 0, 0.5) Case 1 (0, 0, 0.5) Case 2 (0, 0, 0.5) Case 3 (0.49, 0, 0.4)

  18. Outline • Modeling • Simulation • Results • Future Research Directions

  19. Future Research • Complete bifurcation graph showing flowfield regime transition • Perform phase-space analysis of transient and oscillatory regions • Simulate more cases for current geometry • Modify geometry for different furnace layouts • Reduce total run time through parallel implementation of simulation with newer commercial software code
