Two types of quasi-liquid layers on ice crystals are formed kinetically.
Surfaces of ice are covered with thin liquid water layers, called quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), even below their melting point (0 °C), which govern a wide variety of phenomena in nature. We recently found that two types of QLL phases appear that exhibit different morphologies (droplets and thin layers) [Sazaki G. et al. (2012) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109(4):1052-1055]. However, revealing the therm...
متن کاملQuasi-liquid layers on ice crystal surfaces are made up of two different phases.
Ice plays crucially important roles in various phenomena because of its abundance on Earth. However, revealing the dynamic behavior of quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), which governs the surface properties of ice crystals at temperatures near the melting point, remains an experimental challenge. Here we show that two types of QLL phases appear that exhibit different morphologies and dynamics. We dire...
متن کاملRoughening transition of prism faces of ice crystals grown from melt under pressure
By observing the crystal shapes and kinetics of ice Ih growing at high pressures from the melt, it was found that the prism f1 0 1̄ 0g faces undergo a roughening transition at approximately 16 C and 160MPa (1600 bar) in H2O ice, and 14 C and 180MPa (1800 bar) in D2O ice. At temperatures above the roughening transition, the prism facets completely vanished and the curves of growth rate versus gro...
متن کاملElementary steps at the surface of ice crystals visualized by advanced optical microscopy.
Due to the abundance of ice on earth, the phase transition of ice plays crucially important roles in various phenomena in nature. Hence, the molecular-level understanding of ice crystal surfaces holds the key to unlocking the secrets of a number of fields. In this study we demonstrate, by laser confocal microscopy combined with differential interference contrast microscopy, that elementary step...
متن کاملCorrection for Brumberg et al., Single-crystal Ih ice surfaces unveil connection between macroscopic and molecular structure.
Physics and chemistry of ice surfaces are not only of fundamental interest but also have important impacts on biological and environmental processes. As ice surfaces-particularly the two prism faces-come under greater scrutiny, it is increasingly important to connect the macroscopic faces with the molecular-level structure. The microscopic structure of the ubiquitous ice Ih crystal is well-know...
