Abstract
Controlled dendritic growth of germanium from the melt yields long thin strips whose principal surfaces are optically flat {111} crystallographic planes except for the occasional presence of small steps. The crystals grow rapidly in the direction, have twin planes parallel to the flat surfaces, and can withstand an elastic strain exceeding . The distribution coefficients of impurities are close to unity compared to quasi-equilibrium values.
