โฆ Synopsis
We directly observed the transition of crystal growth behavior of Si in a low undercooling region. We succeeded in observing the initiation of faceted dendrite growth from a portion of parallel twins with increasing degrees of undercooling. The critical undercooling for growing a faceted dendrite was experimentally determined to be DT = 10 K. We also confirmed that parallel twins associated with faceted dendrite growth were formed between grain boundaries and not at grain boundaries during melt growth. The parallel-twin formation was explained in terms of a model of twin formation on the {1 1 1} facet plane at the growth interface.
