Determination of a-Axis Orientations of Polycrystalline Ice
Abstract Two new methods have been devised for measurement of crystallographic lattice orientations of individual crystals in polycrystalline ice. The first uses edge-length ratios of etch pits. The second uses a combination of optical measurement on a thin section and etch-pit technique. Although t...
