On the basis of local nonequilibrium approach, the one-dimensional model of the solute diffusion during rapid solidification of the binary alloy in the semi-infinite volume is considered. Within the scope of the model it is supposed that mass transport is described by the telegrapher equation. The basic assumption concerns the behavior of the diffusion flux and the solute concentration at the interface. Under the condition that these quantities are given by the superposition of the exponential functions the solutions of the telegrapher equation determining the flux and the solute distributions in the melt have been found. On the basis of these solutions different regimes of the solidification in the near surface region and the behavior of the partition coefficient have been investigated. The concentration profiles in the solid after complete solidification are analyzed depending on the model parameters.

We investigated the homogenous nucleation of the stoichiometric B2 and B33 phases in the Ni50Zr50 alloy using the persistent embryo method and the classical nucleation theory. The two phases become very close competitors at large supercoolings, which is consistent with the experimental observations. In the case of the B2 phase, the linear temperature dependence of the solid-liquid interface (SLI) free energy extrapolated to the melting temperature leads to the same value as the one obtained from the capillarity fluctuation method (CFM). In the case of the B33 phases, the SLI free energy is also a linear function of temperature at large supercoolings but the extrapolation to the melting temperature leads to a value which is considerably different from the CFM value. This is consistent with the large anisotropy of the SLI properties of the B33 phase nearby the melting temperature observed in the simulation of the nominally flat interface migration.
The process of rapid solidification of a binary mixture is considered in the framework of local nonequilibrium model (LNM) based on the assumption that there is no local equilibrium in solute diffusion in the bulk liquid and at the solid-liquid interface. According to LNM the transition to complete solute trapping and diffusionless solidification occurs at a finite interface velocity $V=V_D$, where $V_D$ is the diffusion speed in bulk liquid. In the present work, the boundary conditions at the phase interface moving with the velocity $V$ close to $V_D$ ($V lesssim V_D$) have been derived to find the non-equilibrium solute partition coefficient. In the high-speed region, its comparison with the partition coefficient from the work [Phys. Rev. E 76 (2007) 031606] is given.
Molecular dynamics simulation study based on the EAM potential is carried out to investigate the effect of pressure on the rapid solidification of Aluminum. The radial distribution function is used to characterize the structure of the Al solidified under different pressures. It is indicated that a high pressure leads to strong crystallization tendency during cooling.
We report ultrafast transient-grating measurements, above and below the Curie temperature, of the dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As containing 6% Mn. At 80 K (15 K), we observe that photoexcited electrons in the conduction band have a lifetime of 8 ps (5 ps) and diffuse at about 70 cm2/s (60 cm2/s). Such rapid diffusion requires either an electronic mobility exceeding 7,700 cm2/Vs or a conduction-band effective mass less than half the GaAs value. Our data suggest that neither the scattering rate nor the effective mass of the (Ga,Mn)As conduction band differs significantly from that of GaAs.
We simulate dendritic growth in directional solidification in dilute binary alloys using a phase-field model solved with an adaptive-mesh refinement. The spacing of primary branches is examined for a range of thermal gradients and alloy compositions and is found to undergo a maximum as a function of pulling velocity, in agreement with experimental observations. We demonstrate that wavelength selection is unambiguously described by a non-trivial crossover scaling function from the emergence of cellular growth to the onset of dendritic fingers, a result validated using published experimental data.
