| Research Abstract |
Pattern formation mechanisms of ice crystals with the faceted faces were carried out in cooperation with the researchers of Carnegie-Mellon Univ. Pittsburgh.
First of all, pattern formation of ice crystal interface during the one-directional growth was observed in-situ using a Mach-Zehnde interferometer. A direct evidence for the constitutional supercooling, which develops in front of the interface, was first given from the analysis of diffusion field of impurity using the interference fringes. The Mullins-Sekerka instability theory, which is basically a linear and steady state theory, is also applicable to the pattern formation of ice interface.
Second, a new model for the ice disk growth of ice in the supercooled water was also developed on the basis of the experimental results for ice crystal growth.
As a result, we showed that there are two different modes for ice crystal processes in the supercooled water depending on the growth kinetics of basal faces (namely, the spiral growth or the two-dimensional nucleation growth of basal faces). This result gives the new prospect for the understanding of the pattern formation of crystals with faceted faces.
Third, the molecular dynamics simulations were .also carried out for the ice surfaces and the ice-water interfaces. The physical properties of quasi-liquid layers on the ice surfaces and the growth processes of ice crystals from the supercooled water were precisely discussed in the molecular level. Most important argument was that we showed the anisotropic growth modes between basal and prismatic interfaces of ice. We begin to develop a new model for the pattern formation of ice crystal on the basis of these results obtained in the period of this international project. Related symposiums about the pattern formation of crystals with faceted faces were also held in Sapporo twice during the project periods. More than 50 researchers were participated for both.
