Extended Data Fig. 6: Eutectic phase boundary alignment and thermal profile in the bulk of the pillar template.
From: Archimedean lattices emerge in template-directed eutectic solidification
a, SEM image of a cross-section, showing a tilted alignment of eutectic phase boundaries within the pillars. b, Calculated thermal profile in the bulk of the template during directional solidification of eutectic-infiltrated Ni pillar template at a set cooling rate of 10 °C min−1. The isothermal solidification front at the eutectic temperature (591.73 K) is denoted by a thick black line; the eutectic temperature is also indicated by a black line in the key. The black arrow denotes the direction of solidification. Scale bar, 1 μm.
