Abstract
An experimental study is performed to investigate the influence of crystal growth on the contact line behavior of a droplet on an undercooled surface. We show the effect that the growing nucleus has on the arrest of the contact line and the underlying dependence on nucleation rate. Finally, based on classical nucleation theory and scaling relations for droplet spreading, we calculate the temporal evolution of the solidifying area.
