Molecular simulations reveal that heterogeneous ice nucleation occurs at higher temperatures in water under capillary tension [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Heterogeneous ice nucleation is thought to be the primary pathway for the formation of ice in mixed-phase clouds, with the number of active ice-nucleating particles (INPs) increasing rapidly with decreasing temperature.

Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation by Graphene Nanoparticles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractNanostructure, chemical composition and size distribution of aerosols have prime important effects on their efficiency in heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN). The ice nucleation usually requires active sites in the aerosols in order to act as ice nuclei (IN).

Investigating the effectiveness of condensation sink based on heterogeneous nucleation theory
, 2020 New Particle Formation (NPF) is regularly observed to occur in heavily polluted Chinese megacities. However, in these NPF events, the survival probability of small clusters into larger aerosol particles is higher than theoretically predicted.

Heterogeneous formation of polar stratospheric clouds – Part 2: Nucleation of ice on synoptic scales [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 This paper provides compelling evidence for the importance of heterogeneous nucleation, likely on solid particles of meteoritic origin, and of small-scale temperature fluctuations, for the formation of ice particles in the Arctic stratosphere.

On the transition between heterogeneous and homogeneous freezing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2003 Box model simulations of an uplifting and adiabatically cooling cloud of aerosol have been performed in order to study the transition between cirrus formation dominated by homogeneous nucleation of ice to that dominated by heterogeneous nucleation. The

Manipulating Nucleation Potency of Substrates by Interfacial Segregation: An Overview
Metals, 2022 During solidification of metallic materials, heterogeneous nucleation occurs on substrates, either endogenous or exogenous. The potency of the substrates for nucleation is mainly dependent upon the atomic arrangements on the substrate surface, which are ...
