This instability is driven by a very thin layer of slowly diffusing excess baryon number that forms on the surface of the bubble wall and limits its growth. This instability occurs on a shorter length scale than those studied previously and these effects can thus be important for both cosmology and heavy ion collisions.8 pages, UM AC 92-8High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyBaryon Number Diffusion and Instabilities in the Quark/Hadron Phase Transitiontext
