Abstract

The atomic structure of interfaces between solid Si and liquid Al-Si alloys with or without Sr doping is derived from measurements of the orientation dependence of the interfacial tension at 873 K. This involves analysing the shape of small liquid droplets inside silicon grains. The results are discussed on the basis of simple broken-bond models and the periodic bond chain concept.
