Abstract: A technique is described for using dilatometers to measure and compare the freezing temperature of water in the presence of various nucleation catalysts. Nucleation is indicated by the increase in volume that water undergone ...

Abstract: Miersite, a naturally occurring solid solution of silver iodide and cuprous iodide, can nucleate ice in supercooled water at ?1.42C. The excellent ice nucleation properties of miersite can be attributed to the fact that ...

Abstract: The relative numbers of active ice nuclei for identically produced aerosols of AgI and CuI-3AgI are determined experimentally. For nuclei activated at temperatures above ?9C, CuI-3AgI produces a greater number of active ...
