The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleed-through, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted.

Quantitative determination of the solidus line in the dilute limit of succinonitrile–camphor alloys

“…The SCN was purified by distillation under vacuum followed by multiple passes of zone refining [21]. The purity was characterized by the freezing range of the purified material, which was measured as 3 mK, and it corresponds to a purity of 99.9998%.…”

The effect of confinement on thermal convection and longitudinal macrosegregation in directionally solidified dilute succinonitrile–camphor alloy

“…The SCN was purified by distillation under vacuum followed by zone refining as in previous works [48]. The purity was characterized by the freezing range (0.003 °C) which corresponds to 99.9998%.…”
