Non-monotonic changes in critical solidification rates for stability of liquid-solid interfaces with static magnetic fields

We report the magnetic field dependence of the critical solidification rate for the stability of liquid-solid interfaces. For a certain temperature gradient, the critical solidification rate first increases, then decreases, and subsequently increases with increasing magnetic field. The effect of the...
