Abstract: Recent experiments on the sublimation of single crystals of ice in an atmosphere of air indicate that the sublimation rate is diffusion limited and initially solid prismatic crystals evolve into time-independent shapes ...

Abstract: Critical supersaturations have been measured for the vapor growth of ice crystals on both the basal and prism faces between ?16° and ?0.4°C. The values are low: approximately constant at 0.4% for the prism face, less for ...
