Main Results:

  • Experimental and simulated images show good agreement.
  • The solid-liquid interface possesses a distinct transition layer.
  • The structure of this transition layer is consistent with a 1x1 silicon {111} surface.

Conclusions:

  • The solid-liquid interface between silicon and aluminum-silicon alloy is not atomically abrupt.
  • A transition layer with a structure analogous to the 1x1 Si-{111} surface exists at this interface.
  • This finding provides insights into interfacial phenomena relevant to alloy solidification and processing.
