Abstract
Crystallization of distilled water is accompanied by continuous and pulsed emission of electromagnetic waves. The correlation between the emission spe ctra in the frequency range from 20- to 10(4)-Hz and the kinetics of the ev olution of the needlelike ice polycrystals has been established for the fir st time. It is shown that electric pulses are generated due to growth of gr ains and their collisions in the course of crystallization, whereas the amp litude distribution of the pulses reflects the distribution of grain sizes.
