An aerosol chamber investigation of the heterogeneous ice nucleating potential of refractory nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of iron oxide (crystalline and amorphous), silicon oxide and magnesium oxide were investigated for their propensity to nucleate ice over the temperature range 180–250 K, using the AIDA chamber in Karlsruhe, Germany. <br><br> All samples were observed to init...
