“…Recently peritectic solidification has attracted more attention in experimental and theoretical studies . Since many technologically important materials are peritectics, studies on unidirectional solidification of peritectic alloys have been carried out on such as Zn-Ag [24,25], Sn-Cd [26][27][28], Pb-Bi [29][30][31][32][33], Zn-Cu [11,34,35], Sn-Sb [36], high temperature superalloys Al-Ti [16,19], Ni-Ti [15] and Ni-Al [22], superconducting materials YBCO [14,15], magnetic materials Fe-Nd-B [21], and structural materials Fe-Ni [17,18].…”
