Experimental and theoretical evidence for bilayer-by-bilayer surface melting of crystalline ice

Abstract: On the surface of water ice, a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) has been extensively reported at temperatures below its bulk melting point at 273 K. Approaching the bulk melting temperature from below, the thickness of the QLL is known to increase. To elucidate the precise temperature variation of the QLL, and its nature, we investigate the surface melting of hexagonal ice by combining noncontact, surface-specific vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and spectra calculated from molecular dynamics si… Show more

“…As such, the QLL has been widely investigated and at times controversially discussed (2, 3). In PNAS Sánchez et al (4) report a joint experimental and simulation study in which an interesting perspective on the early stages of QLL formation is proposed. A sharp change in the vibrational response of the ice-air interface at 257 K (−16 • C) is interpreted with the help of molecular dynamics simulations as the melting of a complete bilayer at the ice surface.…”

“…The study of Sánchez et al (4) does not provide insight into what happens above 257 K, so it is unclear whether melting continues in a bilayer-by-bilayer manner beyond the single step postulated at 257 K. However, much closer to the bulk melting temperature a complementary series of high-resolution optical interferometry measurements has provided insight (16,17).…”
