Three-Dimensional Coordination Number from Two-Dimensional Measurements: A New Method
Abstract The average three-dimensional coordination number, n 3 , is an important measure of firn structure. The value of n 3 can be estimated from n 2 , the average measured two-dimensional coordination number, and from a function, Γ, that depends only on the ratio of average bond radius to grain r...
