X-ray analysis and ice nucleating behaviour of the Agl-Cul-Kl system

Lattice parameter calculations and ice nucleation studies for the Agl-Cul-Kl system are reported. Using the vacuum fusion method, samples of different compositions were prepared. The formation of cubic solid solution for these samples was confirmed by X-ray diffractograms. It was found that the solid solution of Agl, Cul and Kl having the mol % composition of 602020 has the highest nucleation temperature, –1.70° C, far greater than the nucleating temperature of pure Agl, Cul and Kl.
