Controlling solid-liquid interfacial energy anisotropy through the isotropic liquid

In metals, dendrite orientation during crystal growth has been hypothesized to be affected by compositional additions. Here, the authors combine molecular dynamics and experiments in the aluminium-samarium system to prove solute atoms can affect dendrite orientation via interfacial energy changes.
