Measurement of phase changes in a microscopic lithium iodide particle levitated in water vapor

Single, micron-size lithium iodide particles are suspended electrodynamically in vacuum in a quadrupole ion trap. Solid-solid, solid-liquid, and liquid-solid phase changes are produced by varying the pressure of water vapor admitted. Thermodynamic and nucleation theories are used to analyze the resu...

Description
Summary:Single, micron-size lithium iodide particles are suspended electrodynamically in vacuum in a quadrupole ion trap. Solid-solid, solid-liquid, and liquid-solid phase changes are produced by varying the pressure of water vapor admitted. Thermodynamic and nucleation theories are used to analyze the results.
