Abstract

A previously published analysis (Hurle and Series, J. Crystal Growth 73 (1985) 1) predicting the influence of an axial magnetic field on the effective distribution coefficient ( k eff) of a solute is extended to include the effect of crucible rotation. Application of a magnetic field causes k eff to approach unity; the effect is shown to be enhanced both by counter rotation of the crucible and by co-rotation under conditions for which near solid-body rotation of crystal, melt and crucible occurs.
