ABSTRACTThis paper presents a new experimental method to investigate solid-liquid interface morphologies during Zone-Melting-Recrystallization at lower than the typical processing temperatures. Gallium films were used as a substitute for silicon films. In situ preliminary investigation identified three phenomena typically occurring during ZMR of silicon films: a) Transition from planar to dendritic to cellular morphologies was observed for different processing conditions; b) cell period proved to be dependant on scanning velocity; c) instabilities at the solidification interface at low heating strip temperatures were caused by supercooling and optical property variations as the material changed phase.

An optical technique, dual-polarization interferometry, has been used to examine lipid structures at the solid/liquid interface. Changes in the lipid structures, in real time, were examined as a consequence of challenging them with a peptide (melittin) that is known to induce liposome rupture. This work suggests that it should be possible to obtain a better understanding of the detail of the melittin rupture process.
