Scanning electron microscopy and molecular dynamics of surfaces of growing and ablating hexagonal ice crystals
We present the first clearly resolved observations of surfaces of growing and ablating hexagonal ice crystals using variable-pressure scanning electron microscopy. The ice surface develops trans-prismatic strands, separated from one another by distances of 5–10 μm. The strands are present...
