Abstract
Nucleation of ice from vapor on atmospheric aerosols has been attributed to the condensation and freezing of supercooled water in small pores. Here we use wedge pores on mica to directly observe the growth of ice in confinement prior to the growth of bulk crystals. We report a transition in behavior with a decreasing temperature: At low temperatures, the limiting step is not nucleation but a free energy barrier associated with the growth of ice through a narrow pore mouth to become a bulk phase.
