Data Treatment

Crystal growth rates of copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5 H2O) determined by different authors and methods are compared. The methods included in this comparison are: (i) Measurement on a fixed crystal suspended in a streaming solution, (ii) measurement on a rotating disc, (iii) measurement in a fluidized bed, (iv) measurement in an agitated suspension. The comparison involves critical estimation of the supersaturation used in measurements, of shape factors used for data treatment and a correction for the effect of temperature. Conclusions are drawn for the choice of values to be specified when data of crystal growth rate measurements are published.

Continuous crystal-size measurements made on the G6 Antarctic ice core (100m deep) show enhanced growth rates above a depth of 30 m (Zone 1) and in the interval between 70 and 80 m (Zone 2). Crystal growth in Zone 1 most probably takes place by a process of sublimation and condensation. The higher growth rate in Zone 2 is most probably related to the pore close-off transformation process in which a non-uniform strain field is created to form air bubbles by plastic deformation and “cannibalization” of individual ice crystals.

Antifreeze Glycoprotein

An impurity effect on ice crystal growth in supercooled water is an important subject in relation to ice crystal formation in various conditions in the Earth's cryosphere regions. In this review, we consider antifreeze glycoprotein molecules as an impurity. These molecules are well known as functional molecules for controlling ice crystal growth by their adsorption on growing ice/water interfaces. Experiments on free growth of ice crystals in supercooled water containing an antifreeze protein were conducted on the ground and in the International Space Station, and the normal growth rates for the main crystallographic faces of ice, namely, basal and prismatic faces, were precisely measured as functions of growth conditions and time. The crystal-plane-dependent functions of AFGP molecules for ice crystal growth were clearly shown. Based on the magnitude relationship for normal growth rates among basal, prismatic and pyramidal faces, we explain the formation of a dodecahedral external shape of an ice crystal in relation to the key principle governing the growth of polyhedral crystals. Finally, we emphasize that the crystal-plane dependence of the function of antifreeze proteins on ice crystal growth relates to the freezing prevention of living organisms in sub-zero temperature conditions. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The physics and chemistry of ice: scaffolding across scales, from the viability of life to the formation of planets’.
