Consider the case of a binary eutectic alloy of elements
A and B. An A-rich solid phase is forming from a liquid which is a solution
of A and B. Liquid which has a higher concentration of B appears more
green. As the A-rich phase forms, element B is ejected into the liquid,
creating a region of B-rich liquid ahead of the interface.

Another growth front morphology, between the dendritic
and planar extremes, is cellular growth, where only primary dendrite
arms form.
