Abstract
Fundamental understanding of ice formation on a surface, i.e. heterogeneous formation, is critical to suppress ice accretion on the surfaces. Ice formation on a surface includes two steps of ice nucleation and further ice growth. As water droplet is placed on a sub-zero surface, with a time delay, ice nucleolus forms on the surface. Ice nucleation is governed by thermodynamics of ice-water-surface system and it is described by Gibbs energy barrier, ΔG*, which strongly depends on surface factor, f (m, x). Surface factor is a function of surface geometry, i.e. nano or micro, as well as surface free energy and through
