C30B 11/08

every component of the crystal composition being added during the crystallisation

Introduced: January 1980

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Single-crystal-growth by normal freezing or freezing under temperature gradient, e.g. Bridgman- Stockbarger method > adding crystallising materials or reactants forming it to the melt > every component of the crystal composition being added during the crystallisation

CPC:

Single-crystal growth by normal freezing or freezing under temperature gradient, e.g. Bridgman-Stockbarger method (C30B13/00, C30B15/00, C30B17/00, C30B19/00 take precedence; under a protective fluid C30B27/00) > adding crystallising materials or reactants forming it in situ to the melt > every component of the crystal composition being added during the crystallisation

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
