unterkühlte
Unterkühlte refers to a state where a liquid is cooled below its normal freezing point without solidifying. This phenomenon occurs because the liquid molecules are not provided with sufficient nucleation sites, which are points where crystallization can begin. In the absence of these sites, the molecules remain in a liquid state despite the reduced temperature.
For water, the normal freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius. However, pure water can be supercooled to
The degree of supercooling possible depends on factors such as the purity of the liquid, the presence
