An ice nucleus, also known as an ice nucleating particle (INP), is a particle which acts as the nucleus for the formation of an ice crystal in the atmosphere...

Atomic nucleus, the very dense central region of an atom Condensation nucleus, the seed of a raindrop Ice nucleus, the seed of a snowflake Nucleus (band)...

aerosol particle or "ice nucleus" must be present in (or in contact with) the droplet to act as a nucleus. The particles that make ice nuclei are very rare...

stratus clouds. The most common way to form an ice crystal starts with an ice nucleus in the cloud. Ice crystals can form from heterogeneous deposition...

or "ice nucleus" must be present in (or in contact with) the droplet to act as a nucleus. Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei...

nucleation of ice of Δ G ∗ = 275 k B T {\displaystyle \Delta G^{*}=275k_{B}T} . They also estimate a rate of addition of water molecules to an ice nucleus near...

The nucleus is the solid, central part of a comet, formerly termed a dirty snowball or an icy dirtball. A cometary nucleus is composed of rock, dust, and...

an aerosol particle or ice nucleus. In the process of freeze-drying, a food is frozen and then stored at low pressure so the ice on its surface sublimates...

Czochralski process Dendrite (metal) Diana's Tree Fractional crystallization Ice nucleus Laser-heated pedestal growth Manganese nodule Micro-pulling-down Monocrystalline...

nucleation with the nucleus at a surface, is much more common than homogeneous nucleation. For example, in the nucleation of ice from supercooled water...
