Real-time Non-contact Millimeter Wave Characterization of Water-Freezing and Ice-Melting Dynamics

We applied millimeter wave radiometry for the first time to monitor water-freezing and ice-melting dynamics in real-time non-contact. The measurements were completed at a frequency of 137 GHz. Small amounts (about 2 mL) of freshwater or saltwater were frozen over a Peltier cooler and the freezing an...
