Investigation on Mechanism of Faceted Cellular Array Growth in International Space Station

Abstract:

An in situ observation experiment of faceted cellular growth was carried out using transparent organic alloy, salol - t-butyl alcohol, in microgravity conditions on the International Space Station. The temperature and solute concentration fields in the vicinity of the solid-liquid and the growth rate were simultaneously measured by microscopic interferometers.
