Effects of ice and supercooled water on the metastability of methane hydrate: DSC analysis and MD simulations

The thermal stability and metastable decomposition behaviors of methane hydrate samples are investigated by a thermoanalytical DSC method; MD simulations provide potential microscopic insights into the interfaces corresponding to the metastability.
