Abstract
The mechanical and electrical properties of crystals produced by a unidirectional process depend strongly on the temperature and flow field in the melt since these control the concentration of solute at the melt–crystal interface. The solute gradient there drives morphological instabilities that lead to cellular or dendritic interfaces. This paper discusses the planar–cellular transition and the description of cellular phenomena in theoretical terms.
