Exploring the Use of a Synchrotron X-Ray Scattering Method to Investigate Nucleation

Abstract:

A synchrotron X-Ray scattering method has been explored to probe the interactions at the interface between liquid Al and α-Al₂O₃. Melting and solidification behaviour has been observed in-situ in Al via collection and indexing of scattering generated at the solid-liquid interface.
