QLL formation on the surface of hexagonal ice. (A) Schematic illustration of bilayer-by-bilayer melting at the basal surface of hexagonal ice. (B) Small selection of values reported on QLL thickness versus temperature. Lines shown are based on linear interpolation of data taken from X-ray diffraction (7), X-ray absorption (8), ellipsometry (9), and molecular dynamics (10).
