When an ice crystal is born from liquid water, two key changes occur:(i) The molecules order
and (ii) the mobility of the molecules drops as they adopt their lattice positions. Most …

Liquid water can persist in a supercooled state to below 238 K in the Earth's atmosphere, a
temperature range where homogeneous nucleation becomes increasingly probable …

The crystallization of water at 180 K is studied through large-scale molecular dynamics
simulations with the monatomic water model mW. This temperature is in the middle of …

The homogeneous crystallization of water at low temperature is believed to occur through
the direct nucleation of cubic (Ic) and hexagonal (Ih) ices. Here, we provide evidence from …

Ice crystallized below 200 K has the diffraction pattern of a faulty cubic ice, and not of the
most stable hexagonal ice polymorph. The origin and structure of this faulty cubic ice …

Ice nucleation is a process of great relevance in physics, chemistry, technology, and
environmental sciences; much theoretical effort has been devoted to its understanding, but it …

The role of cubic ice, ice Ic, in the nucleation of ice from supercooled water has been widely
debated in the past decade. Computer simulations can provide insightful information about …

We address the problem of recognition and growth of ice nuclei in simulation of supercooled
bulk water. Bond orientation order parameters based on the spherical harmonics analysis …

One of water's unsolved puzzles is the question of what determines the lowest temperature
to which it can be cooled before freezing to ice. The supercooled liquid has been probed …

We present an analysis of ice nucleation kinetics from near-ambient pressure water as
temperature decreases below the homogeneous limit TH by cooling micrometer-sized …
