An Investigation of Laboratory-Grown "Ice Spikes"
K. G. Libbrecht, K. Lui
We have investigated the formation of 10-50 mm long ``ice spikes'' that sometimes appear on the free surface of water when it solidifies. By freezing water under different conditio…

Enhanced photothermal displacement spectroscopy for thin-film characterization using a Fabry-Perot resonator
Eric D. Black, Ivan S. Grudinin, Shanti R. Rao +1
We have developed a new technique for photothermal displacement spectroscopy that is potentially orders of magnitude more sensitive than conventional methods. We use a single Fabry…

On the Formation of Thin Ice Crystal Plates: A New Type of Morphological Instability in Diffusion-Limited Growth
Kenneth G. Libbrecht
We propose a new type of morphological instability in the diffusion-limited growth of faceted crystals from the vapor phase that can explain the formation of thin ice plates at tem…
