Template Directed Directionally Solidified Eutectic Metamaterials

Abstract

Since the last report in September 2017, the MURI team made a number of important capstone accomplishments. Braun and Thornton continued their investigation of eutectic solidification in two and three-dimensional templates. In the CsCl-AgCl eutectic system, they explored a transition in microstructure from rods to lamellae as solidification velocity was increased. This allows switching between one-dimensional and two-dimensional photonic crystals in the same material through adjustment of only processing parameters.
