Ice nucleation properties of K-feldspar polymorphs and plagioclase feldspars

<p>The relation between the mineralogical characteristics of size-selected feldspar particles from 50 to 800&thinsp;nm and their ability to act as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the immersion mode is presented. Five polymorph members of K-feldspar (two microclines, orthoclase, adularia...
