A dendritic crystal is pulled from a supercooled portion of a melt, the remaining melt being above the melting point. The melt may be of silicon or germanium. Initial heating may be by induction. The supercooled portion of the melt may be 5-10 ‹C. below the melting point. Supercooling may be by direct contact with an inert cooling gas, Fig. 4, or by indirect gas cooling of a portion of the melt having a depth of #-“ inch, Fig. 1 or 3.
