Description
Book SynopsisPhysics and Chemistry of Ice is an authoritative summary of state-of the-art research contributions from the world''s leading scientists. A key selection of submissions from the 11th International Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Ice, 2006 are presented here with a foreword by Werner F. Kuhs. An invaluable resource, this book provides researchers and professionals with up-to-date coverage on a wide range of areas in ice science including: *Spectroscopic and diffraction studies *Molecular dynamics simulations *Studies of Ice Mechanics *Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations *Ice and hydrate crystal growth and inhibition studies *Bulk and surface properties of ice and gas hydrates *Snow physics and chemistry This insight into topical aspects of ice research is a key point of reference for physicists, chemists, glaciologists, cryo-biologists and professionals working in the fields of ice and hydrogen bonding.
