NUCLEATION OF CLATHRATES FROM SUPERCOOLED THF/WATER MIXTURES SHOWS THAT NO MEMORY EFFECT EXISTS

The liquid-to-crystal nucleation temperature is measured for clathrate-forming mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and water using both an automatic lag time apparatus (ALTA) and a ball screening apparatus. Our results are conclusive evidence that no so-called “memory effect” exists. Either the solid form m...
