Electrical Properties of Ice.
An experimental and phenomenological study was made of the charge separation at the advancing surface of growing ice (Workman-Reynolds effect). The charge separation is fundamentally ascribed to anions and cations of an electrolyte solute crossing the phase boundary at different rates. The sign of t...
