Websites

Matter module: Solidification
This website covers much of the same material as this TLP, but also has more content covering the kinetics of solidification, and the formation of a eutectic structure.

Dendritic solidification
This page covers dendritic solidification, and contains many images of dendrites. The page links to a selection of movies showing dendritic solidification.
