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 …

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 …

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 …

The effect of temperature on the structure of the ice Ih (0001) surface is considered through a
series of molecular dynamics simulations on an ice slab. At relatively low temperatures (200 …

Molecular dynamics simulations of ice Ih in a slab geometry with a free basal (0001) surface
are carried out at 250 K in order to study the structure and dynamics of the ice/vapor …

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 …

When hydrogen bonds are broken at an interface, water molecules are forced to adopt
configurations that are not as energetically favorable as those deep within the bulk of the …

Since the pioneering prediction of surface melting by Michael Faraday, it has been widely
accepted that thin water layers, called quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), homogeneously and …

On the surface of water ice, a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) has been extensively reported at
temperatures below its bulk melting point at 273 K. Approaching the bulk melting …

Water–solid interfaces play important roles in a wide range of fields, including atmospheric
science, geochemistry, electrochemistry, and food science. Herein, we report simulation …
