Abstract
We report a dendritic crystallization of ionic melt of lead molybdate (PbMoO4) under a concentric thermal field. The solidified melt is a Pb MoO4 single crystal with [001] axis normal to surface, The dendrite ar ms propagate and branch along [310] and [130], forming a well-organize d surface structure. It is evident that the interaction between a cati on to its second-nearest anions determines the dendrite development an d melt solidification.
