Enjoyed your post. I'm wondering whether you can provide figure one for water, not just hydrogen? I was wondering whether the speeds associated with H2O at 273K might explain the tendency of water to supercool < 0C rather than freeze? If possible, could you show this figure at three temperatures: 0C, -20C, and -40 (to capture speeds of water molecules at homogeneous ice nucleation).
Thanks,
Todd
