Homogeneous nucleation simulations with the six-site water model demonstrated that the metastable ice Ic polymorph crystallized exclusively when subjected to 1-2 V/nm intensity electric fields, and that the ice Ic nanocrystal melting temperatures were 40 K higher in the presence of the field than in the no field scenario . This was attributed to the near perfect alignment between the ice Ic molecules and the applied electric field vector . However, ice nucleation kinetics were not demonstrated to change when subjected to a field strength 10 4 times weaker in experiments . Even for the large electric field intensities studied in molecules dynamics (~ 1 V/nm), the electric field induced forces are still a moderate fraction of the intrinsic forces, where the linear response regime is maintained for electric field intensities up to 0.7 V/nm . This potentially rationalizes why fields of much weaker strength are not successful in impacting crystallization kinetics of water, as the weak electric field induced forces are not of sufficient magnitude to compete with intrinsic forces. This demonstrates how the electric field induced forces may not impact the crystallization process without a sufficiently strong electric field intensity, and hence electric field induced forces. Outside the field of electrofreezing, MD simulations demonstrated that static field strengths between 0.5 V/nm and 3 V/nm induced dissociation of methane hydrate crystallites, as a result of the aligned water molecules facilitating transport of methane molecules out of the water cages . Similar dissociation of methane hydrate crystals were also observed in the work in work of English and MacElroy, where dissolution was facilitated by field strengths greater than 1 V/nm, and by frequencies between 50-100 GHz . Work recently performed by our groups demonstrated the ability of 1.5 V/nm electric fields to induce a solid-state transition of paracetamol, one of the most widely used antipyretic (fever suppressant) and analgesic (pain suppressant) drugs in the world, from the globally stable form I polymorph to a previously unknown, but electric field stabilized, polymorph , during the crystal growth process, posing the prediction that strong electric fields allow for the formation of novel polymorphic forms.
