What this source contributes.
Microcline (001) terrace nucleation occurs in cryogenic vapor deposition; sanidine shows a stronger step-edge preference. Ice appears at both steps and bare microcline terraces. Limit: Actual surface may be warmer than holder. Source data/supplement not reanalysed; not an atmospheric powder replication.

This is a bounded reading note. It is not independent replication, a full systematic review or an endorsement of every conclusion in the paper.
Questions to take to the paper
- Which particles remain below a droplet-classification cutoff?
- What happens when sample handling changes humidity?
- How does the seed population differ from the intended application?
Keep the evidence attached to its setting.
A simulation, chamber result, field observation and operational outcome answer different questions. Record the comparator, measured quantity and conditions before carrying a result into a design.
