The Growth and Orientation of Platelet Ag3Sn Single Crystals
Abstract
Kristal-kristal tunggal Ag3Sn pipih dengan tebal 200 μm dan 5 mm pada dimensi yang lain, dapat dihasilkan dengan cara "temperature gradient" dari suatu ingot Ag-Sn dengan komposisi 40% berat Ag dan 60% berat Sn. Permukaan bidang pipih dari Kristal-kristal tunggal yang didapat mempunyai bidang kristalografi yang sama. Dengan cara difraksi sinar X, dapat ditunjukkan bahwa bidang tersebut adalah bidang (020).
Platelet single crystals of Ag3Sn of 200 μm thickness and 5 mm in the other dimensions can be produced by temperature gradient method from an ingot of Ag-Sn alloy with a composition of 40 wt % Ag and 60 wt % Sn. It was found that the platelet surfaces have the some crystallographic plane. X-ray diffraction study showed that the plane is (020) plane.
