In order to examine how the solid-liquid interface responds to temperature variation depending on the materials characteristics, i.e. faceted phase or nonfaceted phase, the moving solid-liquid interface of transparent organic material, as a model substance for metallic materials (pivalic acid, camphene, salol, and camphor-50wt% naphthalene) was observed in-situ. Plots of the interface movement distance against time were obtained. The solid-liquid interface of the nonfaceted phase is atomically rough; it migrates in continuous mode, giving smooth curves of the distance-time plot. This is the case for pivalic acid and camphene. It was expected that the faceted phases would show different types of curves of the distance-time plot because of the atomically smooth solid-liquid interface. However, salol (faceted phase) shows a curve of the distance-time plot as smooth as that of the nonfaceted phases. This indicates that the solid-liquid interface of salol migrates as continuously as that of the nonfaceted phases. This is in contrast with the case of naphthalene, one of the faceted phases, for which the solidliquid interface migrates in “stop and go” mode, giving a stepwise curve of the distance-time plot.

결정성장 도중 전류에 의해 고/액 계면에서 발생하는 Peltier 열을 이용하면 온도구배의 증가와 이에 따른 성장속도의 증가 및 결정성의 향상에 기여할 것이라 예상되어, 고/액 계면에서 복합적으로 발생하는 Peltier 효과를 조사하였다. 전류 밀도, 극성 및 온도구배의 변화에 따른 고상과 액상 및 그 계면에서의 온도변화로부터 이론적 추론에 의해 Peltier 열, Thomson 열 및 Joule 열만의 영향으로 분류할 수 있었고, 고상/액상 계에 대한 Peltier 계수 및 Thomson 계수도 구할 수 있었다.
