Abstract
An exploratory field‐ion‐microscope study of the interface between solid and liquid metals in vacuum is reported using a Ga–In–Sn alloy as the liquid metal. The result with tungsten was no surface atom rearrangement at the interface; with molybdenum, the formation of an alloy of unidentified crystal structure; with iridium, no alloy formation but dissolution of a part of the tip; and with platinum, complete dissolution of the tip.Keywords
