Abstract
Studies have been carried out in order to determine the cubic and hexagonal ice formation mechanisms in a water-glycerol mixture (50% w /w). Experimental studies using techniques leading to very quick and precise observations have allowed us to determine the different percentages of cubic and hexagonal ice appearing during the devitrification. It seems that in the case of this mixture, cubic and hexagonal ice crystals appear simultaneously. The amount of hexagonal ice is more important when nucleation occurs at a temperature closer to the eutectic temperature. Cubic ice nuclei are transformed during their growth into hexagonal ice. Experimental results have been correlated with Takahashi's analysis.
