Pd. Barrette et Nk. Sinha, LATTICE ROTATION IN A DEFORMED ICE CRYSTAL - A STUDY BY CHEMICAL ETCHING AND REPLICATION, Materials chemistry and physics, 44(3), 1996, pp. 251-254
A high strain zone in a deformed ice crystal is investigated with a 't
wo-step' etching and replicating technique. A thin solid film was obta
ined, representing a mould of the ice surface investigated. This mould
, or replica, sampled a full 90 degrees lattice rotation, which is mon
itored with the shape of sublimation pits. The replica also recorded t
he development of dislocation etch pits on faces of the sublimation pi
ts corresponding to the basal and prismatic lattice surfaces of the ma
terial.
