Abstract

To study the relationship between crystal growth conditions and resultant crystalline perfection, large nickel single crystals more than 12 cm long and 2 to 3 cm in diameter have been grown from the melt by the Czochralski method. Unlike semiconducting materials, one cannot easily thin metal crystals, without straining them, for the purpose of applying ordinary Lang topography with μL∼l where kinematical scattering in imperfect crystals is a good approximation. This situation with metal crystals necessitates the use of dynamical diffraction effects in imperfect crystals to permit sample crystals to be thick enough to demonstrate their imperfections as in the bulk.
