✦ Synopsis
Forschungszentrum J01ich I Growth of GaAs crystals by the vertical Bridgman technique has several advantages over LEC --material with lower dislocation density, lower elastic stresses and higher homogeneity can be grown. Most importantly, it also promises lower production costs. However, the methodhas been hampered by a low single crystal yield due to poly growth and twin formation. During the last few years our group has developed the technical prerequisites to overcome this problem. In the first part of this report we shall present two new furnace concepts and some growth results. In the second part we will discuss the technical developments of crucibles.

Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+d (Bi-2212) superconducting single crystals were prepared by a modified vertical Bridgman method using large crucibles of a 30 mm external diameter with a cone-shaped bottom. In order to obtain a large single crystal with high crystallinity, we optimized the growth conditions, w
