Abstract

Interfaces between aluminum and silicon in samples prepared by solidification of an Al-Si eutectic liquid have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy. The Al and Si grains have a common [110] axis with a misorientation between grains of 70.5°, thus aligning the (lll)si plane with the (111)ALplane. In general, theinterfaces have a complex structurewith numerous interfacial dislocations and considerable facetting. The core structurescan be characterized in terms of structural unit models. The nature of the facetting has also been investigated, in particular one facet which lies approximately along the (111)AL, and (l15)si planes and another which lies approximately along the (110)AL and (l14)si planes.
