Fast crystal growth of ice VII owing to the decoupling of translational and rotational ordering
Abstract Despite the abundance of water’s crystalline polymorphs, the growth mechanisms of most ice forms remain poorly understood. This study applies extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the growth of ice VII, revealing a fast growth rate comparable to pure metals while maintain...
