Ultra-rapid cooling of aluminum: Homogeneous solidification to anisotropic nanocrystals
Aluminum fcc-crystal surfaces (110) are irradiated by series of ≈15 ns-long pulses of laser light. Each pulse is calculated to produce an ≈2 µm thick surface layer of liquid and quasi-liquid whose temperature decays rapidly, becomes supercooled liquid until ≈168 K below the nominal melting temperatu...
