Extended Data Fig. 7: Effect of pillar diameter on the emergence of patterns.
From: Archimedean lattices emerge in template-directed eutectic solidification
a–e, Phase-field-simulated steady-state patterns for a fixed lattice constant of 780.6 nm, varying edge gaps, g, and lamellar spacing, λ. These results suggest the possibility of obtaining new patterns by varying the parameter associated with pillar diameter as well as g/λ. The solidification direction is out of the image (z axis). The images show the x–y plane cross-section of the simulation domain repeated once in each direction. The template pillars are displayed as black, AgCl as yellow, and KCl as blue.
