▪ Abstract This review summarizes recent experimental studies of instabilities in free-surface
flows driven by thermocapillarity. Two broad classes are considered, depending upon …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

We investigate the growth of a two-dimensional polymer obtained by dehydration of 1, 4-
benzenediboronic acid (BDBA). The molecules are vapor deposited under ultrahigh vacuum …

We report results of directional solidification experiments conducted on board the
International Space Station and quantitative phase-field modeling of those experiments. The …

We present a phase-field study of oscillatory breathing modes observed during the
solidification of three-dimensional cellular arrays in microgravity. Directional solidification …

In situ and real-time observation of the solid-liquid interface during upward Bridgman growth
of succinonitrile-0.5 wt% acetone in a cylinder was carried out. This first article concentrates …

Though the time-dependent behavior of Bénard-Marangoni (BM) cells has been widely
investigated in the past decades, most are concerned with the transformation of geometrical …

We report experimental evidence of the fact that, in a Bénard-Marangoni conduction-
convection transition, the density of defects in the emerging structure scales as a power law …

We present a detailed analysis of oscillatory modes during three-dimensional cellular
growth in a diffusive transport regime. We ground our analysis primarily on in situ …

One of the critical microstructures in directional solidification of alloys is the cellular/dendritic
pattern that governs the properties and reliability of the solidified material. Our quantitative …
