The equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes of solid Zn in equilibrium with Zn-Al-Sb liquid were observed from a quenched sample using a radial heat flow apparatus. The Gibbs–Thomson coefficient, solid–liquid interfacial energy, and grain boundary energy of the solid Zn were determined from the observed grain boundary groove shapes. The thermal conductivity of the eutectic solid phase for Zn-0.4 at. pct Al-0.4 at. pct Sb alloy and the thermal conductivity ratio of the liquid phase to the solid phase for Zn-0.4 at. pct Al-0.4 at. pct Sb alloy at eutectic temperature were also measured with a radial heat flow apparatus and a Bridgman-type growth apparatus, respectively.
