The Effect of Impurities on the Surface Structure of Evaporating Ice
Abstract Micrographs of the surface of evaporating polycrystalline ice containing impurities are presented. The micrographs show that impurities that enter the ice lattice substitutionally enhance the fine structure on the surface, but impurities rejected by the lattice suppress the fine structure....

| Summary: | Abstract Micrographs of the surface of evaporating polycrystalline ice containing impurities are presented. The micrographs show that impurities that enter the ice lattice substitutionally enhance the fine structure on the surface, but impurities rejected by the lattice suppress the fine structure. It is concluded that the observed fine structure is not an artifact of the machine but a real property of evaporating ice dependent upon the defects at the surface. |
