The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many
technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are …

1. BACKGROUND 1.1. Why Condensed Matter Matters: Types and Significance of
Condensed Matter and Surfaces Encountered in the Atmospheric Environment The …

Frozen water has a quasi-liquid layer at its surface that exists even well below the bulk
melting temperature; the formation of this layer is termed premelting. The nature of the …

Organic substances can adopt an amorphous solid or semisolid state, influencing the rate of
heterogeneous reactions and multiphase processes in atmospheric aerosols. Here we …

Since we intend to review experimental and theoretical studies of physicochemical
processes occurring on cosmic dust grains in very cold regions in space, we start with a brief …

The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all
materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily …

From the frontiers of research on ice dynamics in its broadest sense, this review surveys the
structures of ice, the patterns or morphologies it may assume, and the physical and chemical …

During springtime in the polar regions, unique photochemistry converts inert halide salt ions
(eg Br−) into reactive halogen species (eg Br atoms and BrO) that deplete ozone in the …

A workshop was held in the framework of the ACCENT (Atmospheric Composition Change–
a European Network) Joint Research Programme on" Aerosols" and the Programme on" …

It has been shown that sunlit snow and ice plays an important role in processing
atmospheric species. Photochemical production of a variety of chemicals has recently been …
