A novel treatment of solute drag and solute trapping at a solid–liquid interface during rapid solidification of multicomponent alloys by Qiang Du

“…While the treatment is still built on irreversible thermodynamics and linear kinetic law, its novelty lies in breaking up the classical trans‐interface diffusional flux into two separate fluxes one is the transferred‐back flux with its ending point at the interface and the other is the bumping‐back flux with its starting point at the interface. …”
