Multi-Step Crystallization of Self-Organized Spiral Eutectics
Abstract
A method for the solidification of metallic alloys involving spiral self-organization is presented as a new strategy for producing large-area chiral patterns with emergent structural and optical properties, with attention to the underlying mechanism and dynamics. This study reports the discovery of a new growth mode for metastable, two-phase spiral patterns from a liquid metal. Crystallization proceeds via a non-classical, two-step pathway consisting of the initial formation of a polytetrahedral seed crystal, followed by ordering of two solid phases that nucleate heterogeneously on the seed and grow in a strongly coupled fashion. Crystallographic defects within the seed provide a template for spiral self-organization. These observations demonstrate the ubiquity of defect-mediated growth in multi-phase materials and establish a pathway toward bottom-up synthesis of chiral materials with an inter-phase spacing comparable to the wavelength of infrared light. Given that liquids often possess polytetrahedral short-range order, our results are applicable to many systems undergoing multi-step crystallization.
