The Solid-Liquid Interface

This 1973 book aims to describe the basic physical changes of the solid-liquid interface.

List of contents

Preface; 1. Interfacial free energy and the y-ploy; 2. The experimental determination of the solid-liquid interfacial free energy ySL; 3. The structure of the solid-liquid interface; 4. Non-structural views of the solid-liquid interface; 5. Morphological stability; 6. Dendritic growth; 7. Eutectic growth; 8. Mechanisms and kinetics of crystal growth.

Summary

The nature of the solid-liquid interface, the mechanism associated with its movement, and its preferential morphologies, impose important boundary conditions on the technology of crystal growth from the melt. This 1973 book aims to describe these basic physical changes which underlie all of the important range of melt growth techniques.
