During rapid solidification, deviations from local interfacial equilibrium are manifested by solute trapping and interfacial undercooling. Both the solute trapping function and the interface velocity-temperature function have been measured in the Si:As alloy system following pulsed laser melting, permitting us to test models for nonequilibrium interface kinetics. The results are consistent with the Continuous Growth Model “without solute drag” of Aziz and Kaplan and are inconsistent with models that incorporate solute drag effects during solidification.
