Abstract
Two approaches are used to study suggested mechanisms for heterogeneous ice nucleation. In one, an epitaxial-like mechanism is studied by using Langmuir monolayers of aliphatic alcohols C n H2n+1OH (n=16 to 31) spread on supercooled water drops. The packing arrangement of several of these uncompressed monolayers on water, have been determined by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GID) and correlated with the structure of water molecules at the (001) face of hexagonal ice. The roles played by lattice match between the monolayers and ice, the coherence length of the amphiphile crystallites and the orientation of the hydroxyl groups at the interface in determining the nucleation efficiencies are specifically addressed. In another induced nucleation of ice by an electric field is studied using hydrophobic surfaces of chiral resolved and racemic α-amino acid crystals onto which water vapor has been condensed and nucleated into ice.
