These findings for the temperature-dependency of the nucleation times cannot be translated directly to the solidification times. While we again observe an increase in time with increasing temperature, this increase appears to scale linearly with the temperature difference between the equilibrium freezing temperature of the solution and the external temperature. For example, the median solidification time for corner vials was found to increase from 32.7 min at -40°C to 58.2 min at -20°C and 138.4 min at -8°C. With respect to variability, no clear trend could be found for its dependency on temperature. While the distributions for corner and edge vials appear narrow at all temperatures, significant variability for facial center and core vials was found independent of temperature. We also note that while center and core vials solidify at similar times at -20°C, center vials solidified faster at -8°C: at such high temperature the capability of the neighboring vials to receive heat is limited. The opposite was found for -40°C; here, core vials solidified faster than center vials and they do so as a consequence of the enhanced position-dependency: At the time, when the center vials solidify, the core vials are still at relatively high temperature in the liquid state and unable to receive the heat of nucleation of the center vials. However, when the core vials solidify, the remaining system already is completely frozen and thus capable to receive heat, leading to faster solidification.
