Morphological instability in freezing colloidal suspensions
We present a linear stability analysis of a planar ice interface during unidirectional solidification of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension. We find that the interface can become unstable due to constitutional supercooling, yielding a new mechanism for pattern formation in colloidal systems. The int...
