摘要：
The liquid encapsulated melt zone (LEMZ) growth experiment was conducted on board of the space shuttle Endeavour (STS-57) using InBi as a model material Four samples (three encapsulated with organic liquids and one unencapsulated) were successfully processed with growth times ranging from 17 to 35 hours and growth velocities between 0.56 to 5.6 mu m/s. Encapsulated samples showed better diameter control surface appearance and crystal quality than the unencapsulated one. It was also noted that crystal quality improved with increasing growth velocity as well.
