摘要
In this work, crystal-melt interfaces were directly observed during the directional solidification of molten GaSb having a stoichiometric composition, and the formation of dendrite structures was studied. With increases in growth velocity, the planar crystal-melt interface became unstable and dendrite growth was initiated. Dendrites having {111} facets were found to grow in either the < 110 > or < 112 > directions, and a pair of twin boundaries was identified at the center of a dendrite. The results show that the growth of dendrites in GaSb is associated with nucleation at twin-related reentrant corners. (C) 2019 Acta Materialia Inc Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
