- Paper distils the results from two large multi-disciplinary research projects, the EPSRC-funded project UltraMelt and the FP7-funded project ExoMet. Evidence of high-quality is provided by the engagement of Research-Complex at Harwell (National-Synchrotron facility) and the use of in-situ synchrotron X-ray radiography studies. Presents the first-ever experimental evidence of the sonocapilary effect in liquid melts. Discovery of instantaneous re-filling of micro-capillary channel with the metallic-melt is highly-important. Confirms the existence of the sono-capillary effect in technologically important liquids, other than water, like metallic alloys with substantially higher surface tension and density. Highly cited: 48/56 (Scopus/Scholar).
