Unconventional ice nucleation pathway induced by irregular silver iodide surfaces

Abstract In nature, water freezes predominantly in a heterogeneous manner. Silver iodide (AgI) serves as one of the most universal and efficient ice nucleating agents. Despite the acknowledged influence of factors like low lattice mismatch and surface dipole fields on the rapid freezing of water on...
