Abstract: It is to suppress abnormal growth of GaN crystals around edge ends of a seed substrate. A susceptor is provided that has a pocket section in which a seed substrate is fixed, and a sub-susceptor provided between the susceptor and the seed substrate, the sub-susceptor being not reactive with the seed substrate, with a gap provided between the seed substrate and the sub-susceptor.
Abstract: A permanent magnet alternator including a stationary stator including a plurality of spaced stator poles projecting inwardly from the stator, a winding circuit wound through the spaces between the stator poles, a rotor assembly mounted for rotation within the stator, including a plurality of permanent magnets fixedly mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor in alternating polarity, and a retaining shield for reducing the effects of centrifugal motion of the rotor during operation of the alternator.
