Ice growth from liquid phase has been extensively investigated in various conditions, especially for ice freely grown in undercooled water and aqueous solutions. Although unidirectional ice growth plays a significant role in sea ice and freeze casting, the detailed pattern formation of unidirectionally grown ice in an aqueous solution remains elusive. For the first time, we in situ proved a crossover from lamellar to spongy ice morphologies of a single ice crystal via unidirectional freezing of an aqueous solution. The spongy ice morphology originates from the intersect of tilted lamellar ice and is observed in a single ice crystal, which is intrinsically different from the competitive growth of bi-crystal composed of two differently orientated grains in directional solidification. These results provide a complete physical picture of unidirectionally grown ice from aqueous solution and are believed to promote our understanding of various pattern of ice in many relevant domains where pattern formation of ice crystal is vital.

Freezing of ice has been largely reported from many aspects, especially its complex pattern formation. Ice grown from liquid phase is usually characteristic of lamellar morphology which plays a significant role in various domains. However, tilted gro
wth of ice via transition from coplanar to non-coplanar growth in directional solidification has been paid little attention in previous studies and there is misleading explanation of the formation of tilted lamellar ice. Here, we in-situ investigated the variations of tilting behavior of lamellar ice tip under different conditions within a single ice crystal with manipulated orientation via unidirectional freezing of aqueous solutions. It is found that tilted growth of ice tips is sensitive to pulling velocity and solute type. These experimental results reveal intrinsic tilted growth behavior of lamellar ice and enrich our understanding in pattern formation of ice.
Ice growth has attracted great attention for its capability of fabricating hierarchically porous microstructure. However, the formation of tilted lamellar microstructure during freezing needs to be reconsidered due to the limited control of ice orien
tation with respect to thermal gradient during in-situ observations, which can greatly enrich our insight into architectural control of porous biomaterials. This paper provides an in-situ study of solid/liquid interface morphology evolution of directionally solidified single crystal ice with its C-axis (optical axis) perpendicular to directions of both thermal gradient and incident light in poly (vinyl alcohol, PVA) solutions. Misty morphology and V-shaped lamellar morphology were clearly observed in-situ for the first time. Quantitative characterizations on lamellar spacing, tilt angle and tip undercooling of lamellar ice platelets provide a clearer insight into the inherent ice growth habit in polymeric aqueous systems and are suggested exert significant impact on future design and optimization in porous biomaterials.
We report on the realization of artificial ice using superconducting vortices in geometrically frustrated pinning arrays. This vortex ice shows two unique properties among artificial ice systems. The first comes from the possibility to switch the arr
ay geometric frustration on/off through temperature variations, which allows freezing and melting the vortex ice. The second is that the depinning and dynamics of the frozen vortex ice are insensitive to annealing, which implies that the ordered ground state is spontaneously approached. The major role of thermal fluctuations and the strong vortex-vortex interactions are at the origin of this unusual behavior.
We present the design of a general-purpose convection chamber that produces a stable environment for studying the growth of ice crystals from water vapor in the presence of a background gas. Crystals grow in free fall inside the chamber, where the te
mperature and supersaturation are well characterized and surprisingly uniform. As crystals fall and land on a substrate, their dimensions are measured using direct imaging and broad-band interferometry. We also present a parameterized model of the supersaturation inside the chamber that is based on differential hygrometer measurements. Using this chamber, we are able to observe the growth and morphology of ice crystals over a broad range of conditions, as a function of temperature, supersaturation, gas constituents, gas pressure, growth time, and other parameters.
Among the over eighteen different forms of water ice, only the common hexagonal phase and a cubic phase are present in nature on Earth. The existence of these two polytypes, almost degenerate in energy, represents one of the most important and unreso
lved topics in the physics of ice. It is now widely recognised that all the samples of cubic ice obtained so far are instead a stacking-disordered form of ice I (i.e. ice Isd), in which both hexagonal and cubic stacking sequences of hydrogen-bonded water molecules are present. Here we describe a new method to obtain cubic ice Ic in large quantities, and demonstrate its unprecedented structural purity from two independent neutron diffraction experiments performed on two of the leading neutron diffraction instruments in Europe.
