Skin supersolidity slipperizing ice

Soft Condensed Matter 2013-10-04 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

Consistency between theory predictions and measurements and calculations revealed that the skin of ice, containing water molecules with fewer than four neighbours, forms a supersolid phase that is highly polarized, elastic, hydrophobic, with ultra-low density and high thermal stability. The supersolidity of skin sliperizes ice.
