abstract

The study of atmospheric ice nuclei is vital for understanding the formation of precipitation and the development of cloud systems as it reveals how these tiny particles grow. A mechanism of such growth when the nuclei are in a mixed ice/water phase and quantum vacuum fluctuation-induced Casimir-Lifshitz interaction highlights the complexity and interconnection of the atmospheric processes with quantum theory. Initially of the order of $0.1\sim10\rm\mu m$ in size, atmospheric ice nuclei can expand by the accumulation of water molecules from the surrounding water vapor.
