Three-dimensional morphology of an ultrafine Al-Si eutectic produced via laser rapid solidification
Xinyi Zhou, Paul Chao, Luke Sloan +4
Al-Si alloys processed by laser rapid solidification yield eutectic microstructures with ultrafine and interconnected fibers. Such fibrous structures have long been thought to bear…
Pseudo-4D view of the growth and form of locked eutectic colonies
Paul Chao, George R. Lindemann, Ashwin J. Shahani
We investigate solidification of an Al-Al2Cu as a model system to understand the emergence of patterns (such as lamellar, rod and maze-like) within eutectic colonies. To uncover th…
Formation of a single quasicrystal upon collision of multiple grains
Insung Han, Kelly L. Wang, Andrew T. Cadotte +5
Quasicrystals exhibit long-range order but lack translational symmetry. When grown as single crystals, they possess distinctive and unusual properties owing to the absence of grain…
