Abstract

Growth rates parallel to and normal to the basal plane have been determined for ice growing in 10 -1 molar aqueous solutions of KF and CsF and 10 -3, 10 -2 and 10 -1 molar aqueous solutions of LiI, supercooled by up to 6°C. In all solutions, except the 10 -3 molar LiI, the growth rate normal to the basal plane is higher than that in pure water; in 10 -3 molar LiI it is unaffected. In the KF, CsF solutions the growth rate parallel to the basal plane is higher than that in pure water while in 10 -2 and 10 -3 molar LiI solutions it is unaffected and in 10 -1 molar LiI it is reduced.
