We examine ice crystallization from liquid water and from water vapor, focusing on the
underlying physical processes that determine growth rates and structure formation. Ice …

The ice-water interface is commonly encountered in our life, and comes into play in a wide
number of natural phenomena. Here, attention will be focused on its effects on protein …

Ice formation is ubiquitous in nature, with important consequences in a variety of
environments, including biological cells, soil, aircraft, transportation infrastructure, and …

Clathrate hydrates and ice I are the most abundant crystals of water. The study of their
nucleation, growth, and decomposition using molecular simulations requires an accurate …

Traditionally, ice I was considered to exist in two well-defined crystalline forms at ambient
pressure: stable hexagonal ice (ice Ih) and metastable cubic ice (ice Ic). However, it is …

In this work, we evaluate by means of computer simulations the rate for ice homogeneous
nucleation for several water models such as TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, TIP4P/ICE, and mW …

Although graphene sheet (GS) and graphene oxide (GO) are two popular additives for
improving the frost resistance of concrete, unclear anti-icing mechanisms of GS/GO cross …

Crystallization of ice from deeply supercooled water and amorphous ices–a process of
fundamental importance in the atmosphere, interstellar space, and cryobiology–results in …

The freezing of water is greatly influenced by the ice–water interfacial free energy. Yet, no
consistent experimental measures of this thermodynamic parameter can be found. In this …

Cement-based materials in cold regions usually suffer deicer-frost deterioration. To better
understand the frozen behavior of the calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), molecular dynamics is …
