Direct Evidence of Ice Crystallization Inhibition by Dielectric Relaxation of Hydrated Ions

In this paper, the inhibition effect of an alternative current (AC) electric field on ice crystallization in 0.9 wt % NaCl aqueous solution was confirmed thermodynamically with characterization. An innovative experimental and analytical method, combining differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measu...
