Using electromagnetic levitation under microgravity conditions, the interfacial properties of an Cu(75)Co(25) alloy have been investigated in the liquid phase. This alloy exhibits a metastable liquid miscibility gap and can be prepared and levitated in a configuration consisting of a liquid cobalt-rich core surrounded by a liquid copper-rich shell. Exciting drop oscillations and analysing the frequency spectrum, both surface and (liquid-liquid) interfacial tension can be derived from the observed oscillation frequencies. This paper briefly reviews the theoretical background and reports on a recent experiment carried out on board the TEXUS 44 sounding rocket.
