“…By contrast, when smaller particles interacted with ice grown at lower solidification rates, particles were pushed ahead of the interface and remained nearly surrounded by the bulk liquid. Subsequent efforts to explain these phenomena have been driven by their importance to solidification dynamics in industrial and biological processes in addition to ground freezing phenomena ͑Uhlmann et Hoekstra and Miller, 1967;Bolling and Cissé, 1971;Omenyi and Neumann, 1976;Gilpin, 1980c;Bronshtein et al, 1981;Pötschke and Rogge, 1989;Azouni et al, 1990Azouni et al, , 1997Shangguan et al, 1992;Asthana and Tewari, 1993;Lipp and Körber, 1993;Sen et al, 1997͒. A comprehensive description of the underlying mechanisms was first given by Chernov and his colleagues ͑Chernov and Mel 'nikova, 1966;Chernov and Temkin, 1977͒, and has since been generalized and placed within the context of our modern understanding of premelting behavior ͑Dash, 1989b; Rempel andWorster, 1999, 2001͒. Intermolecular forces that act between the particle, ice, and liquid generate a premelted film and produce a net thermomolecular force that disjoins the particle from the ice surface.…”
