A Technique for Producing Strain-Free Flat Surfaces on Single Crystals of Ice
The top surface of an accurately aligned ice crystal is melted by an aluminum surface and then frozen to a warm “Lucite” plate ant! tapped free. Etch-pit development shows that the dislocation density on the resulting surface is similar to die bulk dislocation density determined by X-ray topographic...

Summary: | The top surface of an accurately aligned ice crystal is melted by an aluminum surface and then frozen to a warm “Lucite” plate ant! tapped free. Etch-pit development shows that the dislocation density on the resulting surface is similar to die bulk dislocation density determined by X-ray topographic methods. |
