Deposition nucleation on mineral dust particles: a case against classical nucleation theory with the assumption of a single contact angle

Deposition nucleation on two mineral species, kaolinite and illite, was studied using a flow cell coupled to an optical microscope. The results show that the <i>S</i><sub>ice</sub> conditions when ice first nucleated, defined as the onset &...
