The Growth and Deformation of Ice Crystals 397 the Growth and Deformation of Ice Crystals
X-ray diffraction photographs were taken of ice dendrites grown from water and from the vapour. In both cases [II20] was found to be the growth direction. A method of growing cylindrical single crystals of any desired orientation has been devised. Some of these crystals were extended to several times their original length. Slip took place exclusively on the basal plane. Experiments designed to ...
متن کاملProduction of Ice Nucleation Deficient (Ice-) Mutants of the Epiphytic Strains of Erwinia herbicola
To mutate the Ice Nucleation Active (INA) gene in Erwinia herbicola strains, Tn-5 transposon carried by Psup2021 plasmid was used. This plasmid was transferred to the bacterial cells by electroporation. Electrotransformation was carried out for 2.5 ms at 1800 v and 1 mm distance between the electrodes. Polymerase chain reaction was used for determination of presence or loss of INA gene, using a...
متن کاملThe microscopic features of heterogeneous ice nucleation may affect the macroscopic morphology of atmospheric ice crystals.
It is surprisingly difficult to freeze water. Almost all ice that forms under "mild" conditions (temperatures > -40 degrees C) requires the presence of a nucleating agent--a solid particle that facilitates the freezing process--such as clay mineral dust, soot or bacteria. In a computer simulation, the presence of such ice nucleating agents does not necessarily alleviate the difficulties associa...
متن کاملDendritic Growth Velocity of Ice Crystals
The dendritic growth velocity of ice crystals is measured at undercooking levels between 5 -8.5 K using a unique apparatus. The result shows that the measured velocities are smaller than the theoretical prtiiction based on the thermal diffusion theory with the scaling constant, o = 0.025, which has been shown to agree with the experimental results at lower undercooking levels between 0.4 2.5 K....
متن کاملUsing Microfluidics to Decouple Nucleation and Growth of Protein Crystals.
A high throughput, low volume microfluidic device has been designed to decouple the physical processes of protein crystal nucleation and growth. This device, called the Phase Chip, is constructed out of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer. One of the Phase Chip's innovations is to exploit surface tension forces to guide each drop to a storage chamber. We demonstrate that nanoliter water-in-...
