Directional solidification is a cast-based technique in which molten silicon is solidified under a controlled thermal gradient to produce multicrystalline ingots for solar-cell fabrication. A ...

Lamellar patterns with periodicities from several tens to hundreds of nanometers were created by directional solidification and epitaxial crystallization of blends of ...

(a) Solidification pathway and schematic diagrams of crystal growth during the directional solidification process (b) without and (c) with a high magnetic field at low velocity and with a high ...
