The current epoch can be described as the 'age of ice-rush', as the rate of discovery of ice
polymorphs, of which there are currently 20 known, has accelerated, particularly since the …

We here review mostly experimental and some computational work devoted to nucleation in
amorphous ices. In fact, there are only a handful of studies in which nucleation and growth in …

Ice is different from ordinary crystals because it contains randomness, which means that
statistical treatment based on ensemble averaging is essential. Ice structures are …

Above 2 GPa the phase diagram of water simplifies considerably and exhibits only two solid
phases up to 60 GPa, ice VII and ice VIII. The two phases are related to each other by …

Heterogeneous nucleation of ice from supercooled water is the process responsible for
triggering nearly all ice formation in the natural environment. Understanding of …

Ice III is a hydrogen-disordered phase of ice that is stable between about 0.2 and 0.35 GPa.
Upon cooling, it transforms to its hydrogen-ordered counterpart ice IX within the stability …

When water freezes, impurities are expelled from the ice crystals and accumulate in the
grain boundary space. Salts are a major impurity common to aqueous systems and, upon …
