24. We assume the crystal to fill completely the vertical space in the growth cell. Finite elements calculations show that the concentration profile qualitatively remains the same when the crystal does not completely fill the vertical space. The effect on the boundary conditions is that we have an effective β′ =βhcrystal hcell.
