Abstract
It is a general phenomenon for single crystal hosts that insoluble materials precipitate in the form of epitaxially aligned clusters. Such precipitates (or inclusions) are therefore coherently aligned and offer a unique model system for X-ray diffraction studies. In this paper, the general phenomenon of epitaxial clusters is discussed, and specific X-ray experiments on krypton as well as lead clusters in aluminum are presented. A hypothesis for the origin of epitaxial alignment is described and interfacial roughening is discussed. Also discussed is superheating and supercooling at the melting transition.
