The role of lattice parameter in water adsorption and wetting of a solid surface

Abstract: Ice formation is a complex cooperative process that is almost invariably catalysed by the presence of an interface on which ice crystals nucleate. As yet there is no clear picture of what factors make a surface particularly good at nucleating ice, but the importance of having a template with a suitable lattice parameter has often been proposed. Here we report the contrasting wetting behaviour of a series of pseudomorphic surfaces, designed to form an ordered template that matches the arrangement of water in a … Show more

“…Substituting Sn into Pt (111) creates a Sn template that stabilizes a simple (√3 × √3)R30°, H-down water bilayer, 34 similar to the structure shown in Figure 2b. This structure is not stable on alloys with a reduced metal spacing, 35 implying that the template must match closely the bulk O−O spacing, as predicted by calculations. 36,37…”

“…However, water structure prediction remains a challenge, limited by the flexibility of water–water hydrogen bonds and the sensitivity of its structure to the particular environment . Investigating the wetting of well-defined model surfaces allows the effect of lattice parameter, symmetry, and binding energy to be explored separately to discover to what extent these factors affect the water structure. Manipulating the surface offers the ability to deliberately control the structure and properties of interface water, for example, to encourage 3D ice growth or to change the friction or transport properties ,, as desired.…”

“…Even the longstanding and elegant lattice matching hypothesis to which the ice nucleating activity of silver iodide is attributed has been questioned. 28 , 29 Various molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted by a few different groups in order to address this issue. 30 35 This includes several studies looking specifically at carbon species.…”
