Abstract
The dihedral angle of water at a grain boundary in ice is found, by measuring the optical focal length of lenticular water inclusions, to be 33.6 ± 0.7°. The new result leads to only minor revision of published experimental values of specific surface free energies in the ice–water system (Ketcham and Hobbs, 1969).Keywords
