Solute Trapping and Solute Drag in a Phase-Field Model of Rapid Solidification

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
N A. Ahmad, A A. Wheeler, William J. Boettinger, Geoffrey B. McFadden
During rapid solidification, solute may be incorporated into the solid phase at a concentration significantly different than that predicted by equilibrium thermodynamics. This process, known as solute trapping, leads to a progressive reduction in the

Interface Morphology During Crystal Growth: Effects of Anisotropy and Fluid Flow

August 12, 1998
Author(s)
Sam R. Coriell, B T. Murray, A A. Chernov, Geoffrey B. McFadden
We treat the effect of shear flows on the morphological stability of a crystal growing from solution by a step mechanism at a given constant velocity. We carry out some calculations for a shear flow that is sinusoidal in time.The interaction of fluid flow

Step Bunching: Influence of Impurities and Solution Flow

July 14, 1998
Author(s)
A A. Chernov, P G. Vekilov, Sam R. Coriell, B T. Murray, Geoffrey B. McFadden
Step bunching results in striations even at relatively early stages of its development and in inclusions of mother liquor at the later stages. Therefore, eliminating step bunching is crucial for high crystal perfection. The nature of step bunching

Multiple Similarity Solutions for Solidification and Melting

July 1, 1998
Author(s)
Sam R. Coriell, Geoffrey B. McFadden, R F. Sekerka, William J. Boettinger
We explore multiple one-dimensional similarity solutions during the solidification of a binary alloy and a pure material. The configuration is analogous that of a diffusion couple, for which multiple solutions in ternary alloys were discovered by Coates &

Internal waves in xenon near the critical point

June 1, 1996
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Margaret J. Lyell, Geoffrey B. McFadden, Ronald G. Rehm
Just above the liquid-vapor critical point, a fluid’s large compressibility causes a stable stratification in which the density varies by as much as 10% in 1 cm. This stratification supports internal gravity waves which we observed with an oscillator
