The Dissolution and the Change in Shapes of Ice Crystals in Replica Solution

[摘要] The dissolution process of ice crystals in replica solution was studied. The dissolution form of ice crystals depends on the concentration of the solution. For example, in lower concentration a hexagonal plate dissolves through the dodecagonal plate with more pointed corners in the ‹1120› directions, while in higher concentration it dissolves through the dodecagonal plate with more pointed corners in the ‹1010› directions and thereafter through nearly regular dodecagonal plate. The dissolution form of ice crystals depends on the dimension of dissolving ice crystals, too.
