Metastable equilibrium states of solid-liquid interfaces in metallic binary alloys

Abstract
Metastable equilibrium states of solid-liquid interfaces of binary alloys are studied using a zeroth order monolayer lattice-like model. The effects of temperature, bulk chemical interactions and interfacial adsorption are taken into account. The results are compared with existing data on interfacial equilibrium properties and are used to discuss observations on growth morphologies in metallic systems.
