“…3 shows the results of a molecular dynamics simulation for the QLL in pure water ice. Though the thickness of the QLL at various temperatures, and its temperature of onset, remain debatable (Bluhm et al, 2002;, it is well known that the thickness decreases with decreasing temperature Sadtchenko and Ewing, 2003;Ewing, 2004;Voss et al, 2005), differs depending on the ice crystal's facet (Kuroda and Lacmann, 1982;Furukawa et al, 1987a, b;Furukawa, 1996, 1997a;Furukawa, 1997;Carignano et al, 2005), and is highly dependent on the technique used (Wettlaufer, 1999;). These differences in QLL thickness, and the physical shape of the crystal, cause different rates of crystal facet growth and thereby change the crystal's morphology as a function of temperature (Kuroda and Lacmann, 1982;Carignano et al, 2005;Libbrecht, 2005b).…”
