Electromagnetic Levitation of Silicon and Silicon-Iron Alloy Droplets Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractIn this paper, the design of an electromagnetic levitation system and a technique for non-conductive silicon heating and conductive silicon levitation is described. The aim of the work is to describe the various parameters including coil design, applied power and specimen weight that govern the temperature of levitated silicon and silicon-iron alloy droplets.
