Temperature-dependent kinetic pathways of heterogeneous ice nucleation competing between classical and non-classical nucleation

Classically, ice nucleation on foreign surfaces is considered a one-step process. Here, Li et al. uncover a two-barrier pathway which becomes competitive at lower temperatures, facilitated by synergistic, entropic effects of rhombic and hexagonal ice structures.
