Exclusion zone and heterogeneous water structure at ambient temperature
Fig 9
String and wall-like form of ice from water treated in a non-contact manner.
These images were obtained from different locations of the same sample. (A) String form of ice that appeared as fibers. The diameter of the fiber was estimated to be 0.1 μm ~ 0.2 μm. (B) Co-existence of string form and cell-like boundary. (C) A possible transition stage of string form to cell-like form as the ‘degree of structure’ increases. (D) The three-dimensional cell-like structure resembling a sponge.
