Abstract
A method of growing gray tinsingle crystals from a liquid amalgam is presented together with a description of the apparatus and specification of the conditions of growth. Photographs of typical crystals ranging in size up to 2 cm and showing well‐developed crystallographic planes are included. Residual resistance measurements indicate a total impurity content of the order of 0.001%. The energy gap is the same as for transformed material but the low‐temperature mobilities are considerably higher. Evidence that the gray‐to‐white transformation is of the diffusionless type is presented.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
