A Crystallographic Study on the Growth of Partially Faceted MnSn2 Phase during Solidification Process

The growth of MnSn2 phase during the solidification process of Sn-Mn alloy was crystallographically investigated. The results show that the non-faced spherical caps of the MnSn2 crystals follow the continuous growth mechanism to grow rapidly along the <001> direction, while the side su...
