摘要：

Ice films as many as 30 molecular layers thick can be imaged with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) when negative sample biases <-6(+/-) V and subpicoamp tunneling currents are used. We observe that water deposited onto Pt(111) below 120 K forms amorphous films, whereas metastable cubic ice appears between 120 and 150 K. To determine the mechanisms of ice growth, we investigate the thickness-dependent film morphology. Cubic ice emerges from screw dislocations in the crystalline ice film that are caused by the mismatch in the atomic Pt- step height and the ice-bilayer separation.
