Dataset for "Nucleation- and Emergence-Limited Growth of Ice from Pores"

Nucleation of ice from vapour on atmospheric aerosols has been attributed to the condensation and freezing of supercooled water in small pores. This dataset accompanies a paper in which 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 behaviour with decreasing temperature: at low temperatures the limiting step is not nucleation, but a free energy barrier associated with growth of ice through a narrow pore mouth to become a bulk phase.
