Abstract
The influence of the temperature on the morphology of ice crystals grown from pure vapour is studied. It is found that at temperatures close to the melting point non-singular (rounded) regions exist on the growth form of ice on the more loosely packed portions in contact with the basal face. The area strongly increases with the rise in temperature. The basal face itself remains singular (plane) close to the melting point. The phenomenon is interpreted in terms of surface melting in the sense of Stranski, and Burton, Cabrera and Frank.
