Abstract
In-situ observations of ice crystals grown in a sample of supercooled water were conducted, using a new growth apparatus combined with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Three-dimensional patterns of ice dendrites were first analyzed from the distributions of interference fringes observed on the ice crystals. Two distinct tip radii in addition to the tip growth velocity were independently measured from the pictures of interference fringes as a function of supercooling. Characteristics of three-dimensional pattern formations of ice dendrites are emphasized on the basis of the Langer and Müller-Krumbhaar theory for dendritic growth.
