| Thickness of quasi-liquid layers on ice surface measured by an
ellipsometry. Solid and open squares indicate the results for {0001} and
{1010} faces, respectively. In this figure, roughening temperatures
expected from the observation of ice crystal shapes also are indicated[34].
That is, the roughening temperature for {1010} face was -2oC, but the
roughening transition was not observed even at the melting point. It
should be also noted that these experimental values were higher than the
theoretical prospect to explain the habit change of snow crystal. This
discrepancy is still in the challenge of research.
