iss040e054521 (7/10/2014) --- A photo of Hicari sample cartridge 2 from the Gradient Heating Furnace (GHF) removed in preparation for return on SpaceX-4. The materials science investigation Growth of Homogeneous SiGe Crystals in Microgravity by the TLZ Method (Hicari) aims to verify the crystal-growth by Travelling Liquidous Zone method, and to produce high-quality crystals of Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) semiconductor using the Japanese Experiment Module-Gradient Heating Furnace (JEM-GHF).
