Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Measurements of the nano-scale structures of amorphous ice surfaces grown on Si(111)7×7 at low temperature were performed using a low temperature atomic force microscope. As a result, it was indicated the opposite of the common sense that the porous and the compact ice are formed at the low and the high temperatures, respectively. This is because the structure of amorphous ice had been measured in molecular scale in previous studies, whereas the nano-scale structures were directly measured in the present study. That is, it is attributed the difference of observed scale. The obtained findings would contribute to the correct understanding of the experimental results conducted using an amorphous ice and the development of geometric modeling of amorphous ice in theoretical study.
