**8.2 Bridgman solidification**

There is another variation of the solidification method for obtaining single crystals of HEA, known as Bridgman solidification method [46]. In this case the polycrystalline HEA is melted and cooled from the liquid state (usually an eutectic

Ga-In alloy) and stays in a liquid state at room temperature from the end of the container with a seed layer (**Figure 8**).
