Northwestern Engineering’s Manijeh Razeghi has received the Jan Czochralski Gold Medal from the European Materials Research Society. The award recognizes her life achievements in the field of advanced ...

Ever since the Polish scientist Jan Czochralski discovered a way to crystallize metals in 1915, the technique that eventually becomes known as the Czochralski method to grow high-purity semiconductors ...

In recognition of his lifetime of research achievement in materials science, Yury Gogotsi, PhD, Distinguished University and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor, will be awarded the Jan Czochralski ...

Research from the Chin-Yi University of Technology in Taiwan revealed a novel heater design in the Czochralski silicon crystal growth process that can control and decrease oxygen concentration without ...

Electro-optic crystal shows great promise for extensive applications in laser, optoelectronics, and optical communication, such as high-speed E-O switch, modulator, deflector, laser mode-locking, ...

Fabricating crystals is no easy business. Making high-quality single crystals for optical applications is even tougher, requiring much skill and time. In fact, single crystals are generally "grown" ...

His name may be almost impossible to pronounce for non-Polish speakers, but without Jan Czochralski, IT as we know it would not exist. Wednesday is the birthday of the chemist and metallurgist who, ...

SODIUM tungstate is used to provide charge compensation in neodymium-doped single crystals of calcium tungstate (scheelite) which are widely used as lasers 1. These crystals are generally grown by the ...
