Stresses and defects in the formation of a cellular pattern in directional solidification. Real-time observation by synchrotron X-ray topography on a Al-0.73 wt% Cu alloy
Nanocrystal growth dynamics are investigated by a novel approach: real-time observation of nanocrystals in growth solutions using lab-scale in situ X-ray diffraction. The method reveals the evolution of crystal phase, size, shape, and composition.
