The motion of the electrically-conducting molten semiconductor can be controlled with externally-applied magnetic fields. A steady magnetic field provides an electromagnetic stabilization of the melt motion during the LEC process. With a steady axial magnetic field alone, the melt motion produces a radially-inward flow below the crystal–melt interface. Recently, an extremely promising flow phenomenon has been revealed in which a rotating magnetic field induces a radially-inward flow below the crystal–melt interface that may significantly improve the compositional homogeneity in the crystal. This paper presents a model for the melt motion during the LEC process with steady and rotating magnetic fields.}, number={4}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEAT AND FLUID FLOW}, author={Yang, Mei and Ma, Nancy and Bliss, David F. and Bryant, George G.}, year={2007}, month={Aug}, pages={768–776} } @article{yang_ma_2005, title={A computational study of natural convection in a liquid-encapsulated molten semiconductor with a horizontal magnetic field}, volume={26}, number={5}, journal={International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow}, author={Yang, M. and Ma, N.}, year={2005}, pages={810–816} } @article{yang_ma_2005, title={Free convection in a liquid-encapsulated molten semiconductor in a vertical magnetic field}, volume={48}, ISSN={["1879-2189"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2005.04.019}, abstractNote={This paper treats the free convection in a layer of boron oxide, called a liquid encapsulant, which lies above a layer of a molten compound semiconductor (melt) between cold and hot vertical walls in a rectangular container with a steady vertical magnetic field. The magnetic field provides an electromagnetic (EM) damping of the molten semiconductor which is an excellent electrical conductor but has no direct effect on the motion of the liquid encapsulant. The competition between the two free convections determines the direction of the velocity of the interface.}, number={19-20}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER}, author={Yang, M and Ma, N}, year={2005}, month={Sep}, pages={4010–4018} } @article{yang_ma_d. f._morton_2005, title={Liquid-encapsulated Czochralski growth of doped gallium-antimonide semiconductor crystals using a strong steady magnetic field}, volume={41}, number={1}, journal={Magnetohydrodynamics}, author={Yang, M. and Ma, N.
