Abstract
We extend the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory of atomically rough bcc-liquid interfaces [Wu et al., Phys. Rev. B 73, 094101 (2006)] outside of equilibrium. We use this extension to derive an analytical expression for the kinetic coefficient, which is the proportionality constant $\ensuremath{\mu}(\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n})$ between the interface velocity along a direction $\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n}$ normal to the interface and the interface undercooling. The kinetic coefficient is expressed as a spatial integral along the normal direction of a sum of gradient square terms corresponding to different nonlinear density wave profiles. Anisotropy arises naturally from the dependence of those profiles on the angles between the principal reciprocal lattice vectors ${\stackrel{P\vec}{K}}_{i}$ and $\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n}$. Values of the kinetic coefficient for the $(100),\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}(110)$, and $(111)$ interfaces are compared quantitatively to the prediction of linear Mikheev-Chernov (MC) theory [J. Cryst. Growth 112, 591 (1991)] and previous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of crystallization kinetics for a classical model of Fe. Additional MD simulations are carried out here to compute the relaxation time of density waves in the liquid in order to make this comparison free of fit parameters. The GL theory predicts an expression for $\ensuremath{\mu}$ similar to the MC theory but yields a better agreement with MD simulations for both its magnitude and anisotropy due to a fully nonlinear description of density wave profiles across the solid-liquid interface. In particular, the overall magnitude of $\ensuremath{\mu}$ predicted by GL theory is an order of magnitude larger than predicted by the MC theory. GL theory is also used to derive an inverse relation between $\ensuremath{\mu}$ and the solid-liquid interfacial free energy. The general methodology used here to derive an expression for $\ensuremath{\mu}(\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n})$ also applies to amplitude equations derived from the phase-field-crystal model, which only differ from GL theory by the choice of cubic and higher order nonlinearities in the free-energy density.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
