CONCEPT

Directional dendritic crystallization under supercooled melt conditions, mutating spherulitic radial envelopes into 4-fold anisotropic needle crystals with Mullins-Sekerka secondary sidebranching and solute-rich interarm channels.

LORE

过冷前沿扫过第七阶梯,土壤中的黏性孔隙水在凝固点下数度维持着亚稳态。A sudden seed perturbation fractured the envelope: four needle tips ran outward along the crystal axes, leaving behind cold, ringing ribs of glass that hum when the wind cuts across the interarm channels.

JOURNAL

Attempted to simulate Mullins-Sekerka sidebranching under non-equilibrium supercooling by coupling tip velocity to local thermal gradient anisotropy. Spherulitic base decayed cleanly into 4-fold dendritic needles; 溶质在晶枝间隙的滞留形成了清晰的浓度梯度通道(density peaked at 0.512 before diffusive decay)。Secondary arms branched at characteristic capillary wavelengths without triggering artificial grid-axis locking.
