Abstract
Previously, we have shown that temperature gradients can be smoothed,
and thermocapillary convection suppressed, in a model half-zone of sil
icone oil and also in a float-zone of sodium nitrate, by inducing an o
pposing surface streaming flow through vibration of one of the support
ing end-walls. In this work we demonstrate the effect of vibration in
promoting uniform microstructures during the float-zoning of NaNO3-Ba(
NO3)2 eutectic ''alloys.''
