N1 - This work was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, grant FSUS-2025-0011 (dislocation density measurements), and partly done on state assignment of IGM SB RAS No. 122041400031-2 (crystal growth and simulation).

N2 - The germanium crystal growth process by a modified heat exchanger method under low temperature gradients conditions was investigated in this work. The furnace and heat exchanger design were developed by modeling in STR CGSim 18. Optimal operating modes of heaters and theoretical calculations of the dislocation density distribution in crystals were obtained by computer simulation based on thermoelastic stress data using Alexander-Haasana models. The developed method of growing was tested during the growth of germanium crystals with diameter of 60 mm. As a result, the germanium single crystal in direction with a dislocation density of 200–500 cm−2 was grown.
