How it works

The MELLEN SC12.5R Three Zone Tube Furnaces at the Quantum Structures Facility have three zones. Each of those tube furnaces is capable of independent operation. The MELLEN ADAPT Control System in the same facility is a centralized computer system capable of controlling and monitoring up to twelve temperature zones independently.[2]

Applications

The Quantum Structures Facility includes a Crystal Growth Facility that houses various types of crystal growth furnaces. The same facility includes MELLEN SC12.5R Three Zone Tube Furnaces, a MELLEN Manual Tilting Furnace, and a MELLEN Bridgman Furnace.[2]
