• In crystal growth there is a need to understand the relation between processes in the fluid phase, both liquid and vapor, such as buoyancy driven convection, the incorporation of impurities, and defects in the resulting crystal.
• Relation between fluid phase processes and the generation of defects in a grown crystal is an outstanding problem in materials growth.
• Studies in microgravity will be compared with modeling and will be used to optimize ground-based experiments.
