Composite melting patterns
Scientific news
In a study combining in situ solidification experiments and numerical simulations of a composite eutectic alloy, researchers characterised the scale behaviour of eutectic solidification structures and identified several morphological transformations, including an unexpected period-doubling instability.
The present study was carried out in the following CNRS laboratory:
- Institut des NanoSciences de Paris (INSP, CNRS / Sorbonne Université)
