Equilibrium shape and interface roughening of small liquid Pb inclusions in solid Al

Abstract: The shape of liquid Pb inclusions embedded in a solid Al matrix was investigated at temperatures between 300 and 500°C using in-situ electron microscopy. Inclusion shapes in the size range from a few nanometers to about 150 nanometers were found to depend on size, temperature and thermal history. During isothermal annealing after melting, small inclusions rounded off while larger inclusions remained faceted until the temperature was raised to about 500°C. During subsequent cooling, inclusions refaceted, althou… Show more

“…However, the shapes in the pure nickel system should be regarded as kinetically frozen ones near their equilibrium state. In fact, most studies on the equilibrium crystal shapes have F o r P e e r R e v i e w O n l y 15 been done on crystals whose surface energy anisotropy is so small that the shape involves isotropic curved surfaces [17,26,29].…”

“…One that is the most straightforward, though it is only qualitatively acceptable [13][14][15] is to monitor the shape of isolated crystals in a closed system at a specific temperature of interest [16,17]. When a consensus on the shape of the majority of crystals is reached, the shape can be approximated as the ECS.…”

“…Evidence for the critical role of interfacial properties can be found in many examples of solid-liquid transformations, such as nucleation, [1][2][3][4] eutectic solidification, [5][6][7] and dendritic solidification. [8][9][10][11][12] In each of these cases, some characteristic microstructural length scale is selected in accord with the partitioning of the driving forces required to overcome the intrinsic resistance to local curvature ͑⌬G r ͒ and interface motion ͑⌬G k ͒:…”

“…When the dislocations in Cu matrix intersect at the Co/Cu interface, it is probable that special microstructures such as terraces and ledges are formed on the interface. According to Gabrish, 34) the ledges on the interface act as an energy barrier of diffusion. Thus, shape changes to an equilibrium state are retarded or blocked.…”
