Segregation of Alkaline Earth Atoms Affects Prenucleation at L-Al/γ-Alumina Interfaces

Segregation of foreign atoms on a solid substrate in a liquid metal modifies the geometry and chemistry of the substrate surface and, correspondingly, its potency to nucleate a solid metal. We here investigate the effects of the segregation of alkaline earth (AE) atoms, Mg, Sr, and Ba, at the interf...
