Ice surfaces are characterized by pre-melted quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), which mediate both
crystal growth processes and interactions with external agents. Understanding QLLs at the …

Quasi-liquid layers (QLLs) are present on the surface of ice and play a significant role in its
distinctive chemical and physical properties. These layers exhibit considerable …

Molecular dynamics simulations of ice surfaces at temperatures below the melting point
were carried out. As a result, thin liquid-like layers (that is, quasi-liquid layers, QLL) were …

In this study, the solid–vapor equilibrium and the quasi liquid layer (QLL) of ice Ih exposing
the basal and primary prismatic faces were explored by means of grand canonical molecular …

We characterise the structural properties of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) at two low-index ice
surfaces in the presence of sodium chloride (Na+/Cl−) ions by molecular dynamics …

We characterized the structural and dynamical properties of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) at
the surface of ice by molecular dynamics simulations with a thermodynamically consistent …

Surfaces of ice are covered with thin liquid water layers, called quasi-liquid layers (QLLs),
even below their melting point (0° C), which govern a wide variety of phenomena in nature …

Ice crystal surfaces melt at temperatures below 0° C, and then quasi-liquid layers (QLLs) are
formed. However, revealing the dynamic behavior of QLLs, which dominates the surface …

Ice plays crucially important roles in various phenomena because of its abundance on Earth.
However, revealing the dynamic behavior of quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), which governs the …

Conspectus The ice premelt, often called the quasi-liquid layer (QLL), is key for the
lubrication of ice, gas uptake by ice, and growth of aerosols. Despite its apparent …
