Liquid-solid interaction during formation of nanocomposite systems

Structural changes in mixtures of liquid Bi with small Cu and Ni particles were studied at temperatures of 615 and 1145K. Microstructures of the composites were observed (SEM) and analyzed after treatment at different temperatures and various durations of stirring. The structure of the mixtures of Bi with Cu(Ni) particles was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, both in the solid and liquid state.
