Abstract: The ice nucleation behavior of smokes consisting of silver iodide, together with a soluble component such as potassium iodide, is considered theoretically. It is proposed, when released into a natural cloud, that the smoke ...

Abstract: The concept of active nucleation sites is examined in the light of standard nucleation theory and it is suggested that these sites are probably small re-entrant corners or jogs in growth steps on the surface of the nucleating ...

Abstract: The ice-forming ability of silver-iodide smoke depends upon the size of the smoke particles in a way which can be calculated. From this relation, it is possible to find the maximum number of nuclei produced, per gram of ...

Abstract: The photo de-activation of silver iodide as an ice-crystal nucleus is ascribed to the production of photolytic silver at trapping centers in the volume and on the surface of the nucleating particle. Silver produced at the ...

Abstract: A general theory of the action of small aerosol particles as ice-crystal nuclei is developed and its predictions compared with experiment. It is found possible to decide under what conditions a given particle will act as ...

Abstract: Thermal shock tests were conducted on large numbers of ice spheres and plates, all of macroscopic size. The thermal shock was applied by cooling the specimens to the desired temperature, and then rapidly warming part of ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic theory is used to calculate thermal stresses in ice crystals of idealized shapes when a small area on one surface is warmed to 0°C, in simulation of riming of the crystal by a cloud droplet. It is shown that ...
