The decisive role of free water in determining homogenous ice nucleation behavior of aqueous solutions
It is a challenging issue to quantitatively characterize how the solute and pressure affect the homogeneous ice nucleation in a supercooled solution. By measuring the glass transition behavior of solutions, a universal feature of water-content dependence of glass transition temperature is recognized, which can be used to quantify hydration water in solutions. The amount of free water can then b...
متن کاملAnomalous Behavior of the Homogeneous Ice Nucleation Rate in “No-Man’s Land”
We present an analysis of ice nucleation kinetics from near-ambient pressure water as temperature decreases below the homogeneous limit TH by cooling micrometer-sized droplets (microdroplets) evaporatively at 103-104 K/s and probing the structure ultrafast using femtosecond pulses from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) free-electron X-ray laser. Below 232 K, we observed a slower nucleation...
متن کاملSupercooling behavior in aqueous solutions.
Using the emulsion method, we measured the homogeneous nucleation temperature depression, DeltaT(f,hom), and equilibrium melting points depression, DeltaT(m), of various aqueous solutions and then calculated lambda for each solute using the linear relationship DeltaT(f,hom) = lambdaDeltaT(m). We defined lambda as the solute-specific supercooling capacity and examined its correlation with some k...
متن کاملNucleation of solid solutions crystallizing from aqueous solutions.
The study of nucleation and growth mechanisms of salts from aqueous solutions, as a function of supersaturation, is described using both macroscopic and microscopic experiments. In situ observations in a fluid cell in an atomic force microscope (AFM) reveal phenomena not accounted for in standard crystal-growth theories, specifically on the role of the crystal structure of the substrate in cont...
متن کاملHomogeneous nucleation temperatures in aqueous mixed salt solutions.
This is the first report on the measurement of homogeneous nucleation temperature, TH, in the presence of aqueous mixed salt systems of varying compositions and ionic strengths. The TH,m (TH value in aqueous mixed salt system) data for these systems have been analyzed in terms of a simple empirical equation. The TH,m values in simple aqueous mixed salts like NaCl-KCl can be approximated by line...
