Gas Assisted Solidification (GAS) is a casting method to provide low cost silicon materials for the fabrication of solar cells. In this paper, a detailed study on the mode of solidification is made according to the operational variables. The most appropriate soaking temperature is about 40 °C above the melting point of silicon, with an optimum soaking period of 4.5 hr. A slow temperature decreasing rate of about 1–2 °C/min is to ensure the formation of large grains. A triggering time of gas flow close to the end of the soaking period is most desirable. With a steep increment of gas flow rate, a large gas flow rate of about 300 1/min in the steady state period is to set for the conditions of growing elongated grains. The grown ingots were subjected to chemical and physical characterization, and some preliminary data will also be presented for their correlation.

This article reviews our recent work on the α-β phase transition of quartz as a case study of phase transitions. In this work, the principal subject was to elucidate an intermediate phase (IP) which was found between α and β phases by in situ topographic observations. It turned out that IP was an incommensurate phase having a new domain structure. Also, an anomalous structure very near the transition from IP to α phase was elucidated. Since the phase transition is characterized by the structural changes on four levels of spatial scale from Å to cm, it was very necessary to use both of goniometry and topography. An emphasis is put on the methodological aspects which are useful for the study of any other phase transitions.
