intermolecular vibration, yet shorter than that required for diffusive motions of molecules. Their persistence, therefore, lasted about 1–10ps. Diffusionally, averaged structures were also defined to account for the H-bond network of tetrahedrally coordinated molecules occurring in ice. They described ...
Please explain thoroughly why ice is less denser than liquid water. Why can water dissolve many substances? What is the reason for ice being less dense than water? What factors cause changes between the liquid and gas state? Why does ice melt faster in water?
Normally, the compression of a liquid droplet onto asolid surfaceis a hysteretic process, meaning that the droplet's contact angle depends on its compression history. However, previous studies have predicted that the contact angle hysteresis can disappear under certain conditions, essentially making the...
The surface of a piece of ice in water, again, is a ``free surface'' at which the water may freeze or the ice may melt. And what are known as the freezing, melting, and boiling points of water are the temperatures at which these changes take place when such ``free surface'' are...
At the appropriate temperature and pressure, water molecules in brine can form cages around a guest molecule, thereby forming a separate ice-like solid phase that is free of salt. The process can be energy intensive due to the high refrigeration load required to cool the brine and gas feed ...
The recent discovery of non-classical crystal nucleation pathways has revealed the role of fluctuations in the liquid structural order, not considered in classical nucleation theory. On the other hand, classical crystal growth theory states that crystal

Freeze-pump-thaw degassing involves first freezing the solvent using a Dewar of liquid nitrogen or dry ice. A vacuum is then applied, and the headspace above the frozen solvent evacuated. This decreases the pressure in the headspace above the liquid, thereby lowering the solubility of the dissolv...
while the experimental m.p. is 3099 K. The cases were studied that the initial interfaces between crystalline and melt were the (100), (110) and (111) planes; crystal grew in the [100], 〈100〉 and [111] directions, respectively. For the (100) system the growth rate was studied at...
