The cause of coarsening

Abstract

The coarsening process of bands of smaller grains in a horizontally rotated cylindrical drum is a counterintuitive process. Our X-ray tomography results point to an effective surface tension as the driving mechanism. Additionally, we report on a novel microsegregation phenomenon.
