Special issue}, month = {Dec}, note = {P(論文), By analyzing photomicrographs, the nature of ice crystals grown at temperatures lower than -15℃ was studied first. It was found that in the initial stage of growth, the frequency of occurrence of single-crystalline ice decreases as the temperature decreases although the type of nuclei and method of seedings affects it considerably, and that at temperatures below about -17℃, the lower the temperature the greater the growth rate of polycrystalline ice as compared to that of single-crystalline ice. Second, large ice crystals were grown in an unforced air flow cloud chamber and the nature of polycrystalline ice growing at temperatures lower than about -20℃ was investigated with the following findings : the most prominent polycrystals are those with a sharp growing tip and having a few or many side branches; the most abundant polycrystals are those having a smaller growth rate than the former and being composed of a single or several radially grown branches of assemblages of plates, columns or irregular crystals; radially grown polycrystals are very fragile.}, pages = {96--103}, title = {Ice cyrstals grown from the vapor at temperatures lower than -15゜C}, volume = {34}, year = {1984} }
