The European furnace insert in the MSL [Materials Science Laboratory] is developed to support research in the field of Bridgman crystal growth. The LGF [Low Gradient Furnace] consists of two heated cavities separated by an insulating, "adiabatic" zone. It is intended to provide restricted but well-controlled gradients between two stable temperature plateaux. Crystal growth is performed by translating the furnace over a stationary sample; thermomechanical stresses in the grown crystal are minimised by maintaining the solidified part of the sample in the heated cavity throughout processing. Alternatively, the insert can be used for thermodiffusion experiments by keeping the furnace stationary and using only the gradient capability. Isothermal experiments can also be carried out with suitable sample/cartridge configurations.

The Float Zone Furnace with Rotating Magnetic Field(FMF) is designed as a furnace insert of the Materials Science Laboratory(MSL) and will make use of the MSL capabilities. FMF is a tubular furnace, providing an adjustable, well controlled thermal environment for processing of samples by various methods as the floating zone technique, THM [Traveling Heater Method], or directional solidification.

Parmi les méthodes de croissance cristalline, le procédé de la «zone flottante» permet la fabrication de monocristaux d'une très grande pureté. Dans cette méthode, une zone fluide, obtenue par fusion, est maintenue en place par sa propre tension superficielle, entre deux barreaux solides, verticaux et colinéaires. Le cylindre supérieur est un solide polycristallin alors que le cylindre inférieur est un monocristal (en général du silicium) qui croit au fur et à mesure que la zone fondue recristallise, avec le déplacement vertical de la source de chauffage latéral. La convection dans la phase fluide induite par les inhomogénéités de tension superficielle (convection thermocapillaire) et par la gravité (convection thermogravitationnelle) peut entraîner des défauts dans le monocristal.

OBS

Le principe de la zone flottante en microgravité est relativement simple. Prenons par exemple un bâtonnet de beurre dont on fait fondre une des extrémités au moyen d'un briquet. Sur Terre, évidemment, le beurre se met à fondre et tombe goutte à goutte. En impesanteur cependant, le beurre fondu forme une sphère et demeure en suspension dans l'air. On appelle cette sphère une «zone flottante». Si l'on déplace le bâtonnet de beurre très lentement au-dessus de la flamme pour éventuellement le faire fondre au complet, la zone flottante initiale commence à se solidifier en s'éloignant de la source de chaleur. Bien que le beurre fondu se soit resolidifié, sa forme et ses propriétés sont différentes. Il en est de même pour les échantillons de matériaux fondus en microgravité qui, à l'étape de la resolidification, forment des cristaux plus purs et de structure plus parfaite.

The MSRR-1 will initially accommodate two Experiment Modules and provide dual operations capability ... This Experiment Module named the Materials Science Laboratory (MSL) will be capable of processing samples in a variety of insert furnaces developed by both partners. Future planning is in progress to include inserts developed by other participating agencies.

CONT

The first Materials Science Research Rack... will occupy the right half of the rack. The European Space Agency will provide the core for the EM [Experiment Module] which will house five insert modules. NASA and ESA [European Space Agency] each will provide two inserts, and the German Space Agency(DLR) will provide a fifth. Each of the five inserts will be a furnace to process materials in different ways, such as directional solidification-melting and freezing a sample from one end to the other-or quenching a sample quickly to "freeze" its condition. The German insert will be a special furnace that uses a rotating magnetic field to control flows within the molten samples. The left half of the rack will be occupied for nine months by equipment from NASA's Space Products Development Division, then be made available to microgravity science researchers.

Three Materials Science Research Racks will be a major portion of the U. S. Laboratory facilities. The European Space Agency will provide the core for the Experiment Module that will occupy the right half of the rack and will house five insert modules. NASA and ESA [European Space Agency] each will provide two inserts, and the German Space Agency(DLR) will provide a fifth.

The left half of the rack will be occupied for nine months by equipment from NASA's Space Products Development Division, before it is made available to microgravity science researchers. The Experiment Modules and their inserts will be replaceable in orbit, so an entire rack will not have to be returned to Earth. There will be a single experiment module in each rack with the experiment support systems taking the left half of the rack and an Experiment Module taking the right half of the rack.

Sur Terre, la pesanteur a un effet physique dominant sur les fluides. L'élimination de la pesanteur, qui a une action unidirectionnelle, nous permet d'étudier et d'utiliser les forces de moindre intensité, comme la tension superficielle, dont l'orientation constitue une fonction de la forme des fluides. On se sert de la tension superficielle pour pomper et séparer des fluides, déplacer des bulles et même créer un creuset. Le Canada fabrique en ce moment un four à zone flottante destiné à la production de matériaux de très grande pureté. La tension superficielle remplace les parois du creuset, lesquelles contamineraient le matériau.
