Physico-mechanical properties of naphthalene–acenaphthene eutectic system by different modes of solidification

Anisotropic crystal growth kinetics from compositional melts encompassing the entire naphthalene–acenaphthene eutectic system, evidentially, evinces the dislocation mechanism. Rheological properties of eutectic phase melts at different temperatures explore the occurrence of molecular interactions emanating molecular clusters, rich in one phase or the other, in the eutectic melt. Microscopic studies confirm the crystalline faceted–faceted structure of the naphthalene–acenaphthene eutectic system. Implicit in the present work is the concept of strength–growth relationship that follows an identical form of the Weibull probability distribution curve. The curve exhibits two cut-off points corresponding to a lower strength limit in the slow and fast growth regions, and an upper strength limit in the moderate growth region. Relational essence between microstructural parameters essentially structuring morphology and excess thermodynamic functions implicitly governing molten state of the naphthalene–acenaphthene eutectic system is extracted.
