SCOPED EVIDENCE NOTE

What this source contributes.

Six feldspar powders show differing freezing spectra despite similar warm onset in concentrated suspensions. Texture/composition associations merit matched comparisons. Limit: Mineralogy, accessible surface and concentration co-vary; this does not isolate crystal-face causation.

Scope of our check
selected main text. Abstract and Experimental sections 2.1–2.4; material characterization. Supplement and complete freezing spectra not reanalysed. Review date: 2026-10-13. AI-assisted source check; not independent 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.
