Thermodynamics of the solid-liquid phase equilibrium of a binary system: Effect of a chemical reaction in the liquid and epitaxial strain in the solid

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We introduce two thermodynamics models of solid-liquid phase equilibrium of a binary system in the presence of (a) a chemical reaction in the liquid involving only one of the binary components and, (b) strain-inducing epitaxial conditions on the solid in addition to the chemical reaction in the liquid. These models show the existence of the counter intuitive behavior that epitaxy may promote recrystallization of the solid in spite of the reaction driving dissolution. The conditions for this recrystallization behavior are determined by the value of the epitaxial lattice matching composition, the temperature and the overall composition of the binary solid-liquid system.
