Abstract
The linear stability of a moving first-order phase boundary in the presence of hypercooling and anisotropy is investigated. Applying the results to the A-B transition leads us to conclude that in the temperature regime already explored experimentally the moving planar interface should be linearly stable; we also find that a new theoretical prediction for the terminal velocity of the planar phase boundary is in good quantitative agreement with experiment.Keywords
