The Cubic Form of Ice

Abstract

ELECTRON diffraction experiments have been carried out on deposits formed by water vapour on a base at low temperatures. The water vapour is produced in a separate injection unit outside the camera. The object of the experiments was to study, in particular, the diamond-type cubic form of ice observed by König1 in deposits formed at low temperatures from the residual vapour in an electron-diffraction camera.
