PTM determined several key properties highly related to nucleation such as the temperature and pressure corresponding to the onset of condensation, <i>T<sub>on</sub>, p<sub>on</sub></i> as well as the temperature and pressure corresponding to the maximum nucleation rate <i>T<sub>Jmax</sub></i> and <i>J<sub>max</sub></i>. Moreover, the results from PTM provide important information for the FTIR study. The FTIR spectra of D<sub>2</sub>O and H<sub>2</sub>O nanodroplets in N2 carrier gas were measured in our nozzle. The observed spectra of D2O droplets had some clear peaks, and the shapes of the spectra changed as a function of flow rates and position in the nozzle. The broad peak of D2O between 2400 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 2600 cm<sup>-1</sup> was due to <i>ν<sub>1</sub></i>, <i>ν<sub>3</sub></i>, and overtone of <i>ν<sub>2</sub></i> in the liquid phase, and its peak area was correlated to the product of the weight fraction of condensate (<i>g</i>) and the density of the flowing mixture (ρ), values derived from PTM. There is good correlation between the peak area and g*ρ (p<0.001). From our FTIR H2O nanodroplets study, the same trends regarding spectral changes and flow rate were observed. Moreover, the first observation of cubic ice in our supersonic nozzle was made by FTIR spectroscopy at a location x =6 cm from the throat. The peak in the spectra was located at a frequency of 3250 cm<sup>-1</sup>. This result is consistent with previous FTIR and electron diffraction scattering studies of H2O nanodroplets done by Buch (Buch V., Bauerecker S., Devlin J. P., Buck U., and Kazimirski J. K. 2004. Int. Rev. Phys. Chem. 23. 375-433) and Huang (Huang J. F. and Bartell L. S. 1995, J. Phys. Chem. 99. 3924-3931), respectively. To determine the freezing rate from liquid phase to cubic ice, however, requires further optimization of the experimental setup and more quantitative study 2008-08-21 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211567463 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211567463 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
