Dislocations in ice as revealed by etching

摘要: Abstract The process of etching and replicating ice surfaces has been investigated. It shown that the can be made selective for specific purposes by preparing surface with a microtome varying concentration etchant, thickness temperature drying time. Replication etch-pits in form whiskers was possible both basal non-basal dislocations, thereby directly establishing correspondence to line defects. technique used study movement dislocations under uniform non-uniform stress fields. Grown-in defects could revealed method.
