Propagation Mechanism of Germanium Dendrites

The role of the twin planes in the rapid dendritic propagation of germanium crystals is examined on the basis of corner nucleation. A model is proposed, and it is shown that at least two twin planes must be present for continued easy propagation in directions, in good agreement with experimental observations. The absence of the dendrite with only one twin is explained.
