Crystal structure of droplets frozen on an ice substrate after low speed collision

In the present work, the freezing behaviour, for droplets colliding at terminal free fall speed with an ice substrate, is studied. The study of the crystal structure of singular frozen droplets was carried out using spectra, having 135 and 75 μm mean volume diameter. The results show that the transi...
