Dynamics of ice surface morphologies close to the melting point — •Sebastian Schöder, Harald Reichert, Simon Engemann, and Helmut Dosch — Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung, Heisenbergstrasse 3, D-70569 Stuttgart

Ice surfaces play an important role in many natural and technical systems. In order to get access to the dynamics of ice surface structures, we have investigated a vincinal ice surface. The dynamics of the facets was examined with dynamic light scattering in a specially designed experimental chamber. This setup allows us to accurately control the sublimation rate of the observed surface. The results were compared for different temperatures. For low temperatures (-12.5 degrees) no dynamics was found. For temperatures close to the melting point we found dynamic correlations with a correlation time in the order of ten minutes. We attribute this temperature dependent behaviour to the surface melting of ice.
