Abstract:
The Gibbs-Thomson coefficient and solid-liquid interfacial energy of the solid Mg(2)Zn(11) phase in equilibrium with Zn-Mg eutectic liquid have been determined to be (3.3 ± 0.2) × 10(-8) K m and (20.8 ± 2.1) × 10(-3) J m(-2) from the equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes with a numerical model. The grain boundary energy of the solid Mg(2)Zn(11) phase has been calculated to be (40.9 ± 4.5) × 10(-3) J m(-2) by considering a force balance at the grain boundary grooves. The thermal conductivity ratio of the eutectic Zn-Mg liquid phase to the solid Mg(2)Zn(11) phase has also been found to be 0.81.
