Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the crystallization kinetics of thin adsorbed amorphous water films mainly based on our recently published experimental results [Löfgren et al., Langmuir 19 (2003) 265]. A nucleation simulation model, in which the time course of the growth of each crystalline grain is explicitly modelled, is presented and used to determine the location of the nucleation to be both in the bulk and at the substrate/water interface. The model also shows that a non-zeroth order of desorption from the bulk layer can be related to inhomogeneous adsorption. Further, a thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data is presented. At 145 K the critical size of a (bulk) ice nucleus is approximately 40 water molecules and the nucleation rate constant is 10−6 s−1.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
