| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Salt is generally not incorporated into normal ice. Recent researches revealed, however, that high pressure form of ice can incorporate significant amount of salt into its structure. This salt-incorporated high pressure ice is derived from a specific method - crystallized from an amorphous ice. I conducted fundamental study for this crystallization from the amorphous ice; for instance, crystallization temperature and pressure for different salt composition, and structure determination for a newly found high pressure form of salt hydrate.
