The product crystals are grown on the surface of a sheet of high-purity metal in the other half of the ampoule. surface-assisted chemical-vapour-transport 2010-01-05T11:50:07Z surface assisted chemical vapour transport surface-assisted chemical-vapor-transport surface assisted CVT surface-assisted chemical vapor transport
