Tiny Worlds of Their Own

Al/Si/Cu/Mg alloy particles formed through spray atomization, dispersed on a TEM grid for in situ HRTEM observation of melting and solidification processes focusing on the solid/liquid interfacial behaviors. This particular image shows poor dispersion of the largest particles present in the sample.
