High-magnetic-field-induced solidification of diamagnetic Bi

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scriptamat.2008.04.028Get rights and content

The effect of a high magnetic field (up to 12 T) on the solidification of pure Bi has been investigated experimentally. The magnetic field raises the solidification temperature of pure Bi, and as the magnetic field intensity increases, there is a linear increase in the solidification temperature. A 12 T magnetic field raises the solidification temperature by about 6 K. A high-magnetic-field-induced solidification of the non-ferromagnetic substance has been realized experimentally by solidifying liquid Bi while increasing the magnetic field.

  • Influence of static magnetic field on the heterogeneous nucleation behavior of Al on single crystal Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> substrate

    Among these models, the effect of the substrate cannot be neglected and many factors related to the substrate, such as the size and distribution [14,15], the cavity geometry [2,6–8], the lattice matching between the substrate and new phase [16,17] and the chemical reaction between the substrate and metal melt [18–20], can necessarily influence the heterogeneous nucleation. It's well recognized that the magnetic fields can influence the crystal orientation, nucleation/growth rate [21], thermal stability [22], the solid/liquid interface shape [23] and degree of undercooling [24–27]. It was reported that the nucleation temperature and undercooling were modified during the solidification of Cu melt in a static magnetic field (SMF) [26].

  • Repeated nucleation behaviors of pure bismuth under a high magnetic field

    For pure bismuth, Li et al. [22] found that by applying the 12 T HMF, the undercooling decreased from 34 K to 24.1 K. The decrease in the undercooling was 9.9 K. And the similar result reported by Li et al. [23], the 12 T HMF raised the liquid-solid phase transformation temperature of pure bismuth by about 6 K. In the present work, compared with the undercooling without an HMF, the maximum value and the mean value of undercooling with the action of the 12 T HMF decreased from 35.81 K to 22.75 K and 27.65 K to 16.21 K, respectively.
