Abstract
We show that the surface of ice is scratch healing: micrometer-deep scratches in the ice surface spontaneously disappear by thermal relaxation on the time scale of roughly an hour. Following the dynamics and comparing it to different mass transfer mechanisms, we find that sublimation from and condensation onto the ice surface is the dominant scratch-healing mechanism. The scratch-healing kinetics shows a strong temperature dependence, following an Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of ΔE = 58.6 ± 4.6 kJ/mol, agreeing with the proposed sublimation mechanism and at odds with surface diffusion or fluid flow or evaporation-condensation from a quasi-liquid layer.

Abstract
HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4 are implicated in atmospheric processes in areas such as polar stratospheric clouds in the stratosphere. Ternary complexes of HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4 were investigated by ab initio calculations at B3LYP level of theory with aug-cc-pVTZ and aug-cc-pVQZ basis sets, taking into account basis set superposition error (BSSE). The results were assessed in terms of structures (five hexagonal cyclic structures and two quasi-pentagonal cyclic structures), inter-monomeric parameters (all ternary complexes built three hydrogen bonds), energetics (seven minima obtained), infrared harmonic vibrational frequencies (red shifting of complexes from monomers), and relative stability of complexes, which were favorable when the temperature decreases under stratospheric conditions, from 298 K to 188 K, and in concrete, at 210 K, 195 K and 188 K.

Abstract
Characterization of the interaction of hydrogen chloride (HCl) with polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) ice particles is essential to understanding the processes responsible for ozone depletion. The interaction of HCl with ice was studied using a coated-wall flow tube with chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) between 5x10(-8) and 10(-4) Torr HCl and between 186 and 223 K, including conditions recently shown to induce quasi-liquid layer (QLL) formation on single crystalline ice samples. Measurements were performed on smooth and rough (vapor-deposited) polycrystalline ice films. A numerical model of the coated-wall flow reactor was used to interpret these results and results of studies on zone-refined ice cylinders with grain sizes on the order of several millimeters (reported elsewhere). We found that HCl adsorption on polycrystalline ice films typically used in laboratory studies under conditions not known to induce surface disordering consists of two modes: one relatively strong mode leading to irreversible adsorption, and one relatively weak binding mode leading to reversible adsorption. We have indirect experimental evidence that these two modes of adsorption correspond to adsorption to sites at crystal faces and those at grain boundaries, but there is not enough information to enable us to conclusively assign each adsorption mode to a type of site. Unlike what was observed in the zone-refined ice study, there was no strong qualitative contrast found between the HCl uptake curves under QLL versus non-QLL conditions for adsorption on smooth and vapor-deposited ices. We also found indirect evidence that HCl hexahydrate formation on ice between 3x10(-7) and 2x10(-6) Torr HCl and between 186 and 190 K is a process involving hydrate nucleation and propagation on the crystal surface, rather than one originating in grain boundaries, as has been suggested for ice formed at lower temperatures. These results underscore the dependence of the HCl-ice interaction on the characteristics of the ice substrate.

Abstract
Using an ultrafast scanning microcalorimetry apparatus capable of heating rates in excess of 10(5) Ks, we have conducted the first direct measurements of thermodynamic properties of pure and doped amorphous solid water (also referred to as low density amorphous ice) in the temperature range from 120 to 230 K. Ultrafast microcalorimetry experiments show that the heat capacity of pure amorphous solid water (ASW) remains indistinguishable from that of crystalline ice during rapid heating up to a temperature of 205+/-5 K where the ASW undergoes rapid crystallization. Based on these observations, we conclude that the enthalpy relaxation time in pure ASW must be greater than 10(-5) s at 205 K. We argue that this result contradicts the assignment of glass transition temperature to 135 K and that ASW may undergo fragile to strong transition at temperatures greater than 205 K. Unlike pure ASW, we observe an approximately twofold rise in heat capacity of CH3COOH doped ASW at 177+/-5 K. We discuss results of past studies taking into account possible influence of impurities and confinement on physical properties of ASW.

Abstract
In these experiments, a few bilayers of D(2)O were vapor-deposited on a pure crystalline H(2)O ice film or an ice film doped with a small amount of HCl. Upon deposition, H/D isotopic exchange quickly converted the D(2)O layer into an HDO-rich mixture layer. Infrared absorption spectroscopy followed the changes of the HDO from the initial HDO mixture layer to HDO isolated in the H(2)O ice film. This was possible because isolated HDO in H(2)O ice has a unique, sharp peak in the O-D stretch region that can be distinguished from the broad peak due to the initial HDO mixture layer. The absorbance of isolated HDO displayed first-order kinetics and was attributed to diffusion of HDO from the HDO-rich mixture layer into the underlying H(2)O ice film. While negligible diffusion was observed for pure ice films and for ice films with HCl concentrations up to 1 x 10(-4) mole fraction, diffusion of HDO occurred for higher concentrations of (2-20) x 10(-4) mole fraction HCl with a concentration-independent rate constant. The diffusion under these conditions followed Arrhenius behavior for T = 135-145 K yielding E(a) = 25 +/- 5 kJ/mol. The mechanism for the HDO diffusion involves either (i) molecular self-diffusion or (ii) long-range H/D diffusion by a series of multiple proton hop and orientational turn steps. While these spectroscopic results compare favorably with recent studies of molecular self-diffusion in low-temperature ice films, the diffusion results from all the ice film studies at low temperatures (ca. T < 170 K) differ from earlier bulk ice studies at higher temperatures (ca. T > 220 K). A comparison and discussion of the various diffusion studies are included in this report.

Abstract
Fast thermal desorption spectroscopy was used to investigate the vaporization kinetics of thin (50-100 nm) H(2)O(18) and HDO tracer layers from 2-5 microm thick polycrystalline H(2)O(16) ice films at temperatures ranging from -15 to -2 degrees C. The isothermal desorption spectra of tracer species demonstrate two distinct peaks, alpha and beta, which we attribute to the vaporization of H(2)O(18) initially trapped at or near the grain boundaries and in the crystallites of the polycrystalline ice, respectively. We show that the diffusive transport of the H(2)O(18) and HDO tracer molecules in the bulk of the H(2)O(16) film is slow as compared to the film vaporization. Thus, the two peaks in the isothermal spectra are due to unequal vaporization rates of H(2)O(18) from grain boundary grooves and from the crystallites and, therefore, can be used to determine independently the vaporization rate of the single crystal part of the film and rate of thermal etching of the film. Our analysis of the tracer vaporization kinetics demonstrates that the vaporization coefficient of single crystal ice is significantly greater than those predicted by the classical vaporization mechanism at temperatures near ice melting point. We discuss surface morphological dynamics and the bulk transport phenomena in single crystal and polycrystalline ice near 0 degrees C.

Abstract
This FTIR study focuses on solid-state chemistry associated with formation and interconversion of the ionic HX (X = Cl, Br) hydrates. Kinetic data are reported for conversions of ice nanocrystal arrays exposed to the saturation pressure of the acids in the 110 approximately 125 K range. The product is amorphous acid dihydrate in the case of HBr, and amorphous monohydrate for HCl. The rate-determining step is identified as HX diffusion through the hydrate product crust toward the interfacial reaction zone, rather than diffusion through ice, as commonly believed. Slowing of the conversion process is thus observed with increasing thickness of the crust. The diffusion coefficient (D(e)) and activation energy values for HX diffusion through the hydrates were evaluated with the help of the shrinking-core model. Hydrate crystallization occurs as a separate step, upon heating above 130 K. Subsequently, rates of reversible transitions between crystal di- and monohydrates were observed upon exposure to acid vapor and acid evacuation. In conversion from di- to monohydrate, the rate slows after fast formation of several layers; subsequently, diffusion through the product crust appears to be the rate-controlling step. The activation energy for HBr diffusion through crystal dihydrate is found to be significantly higher than that for the amorphous analogue. Conjecture is offered for a molecular mechanism of HX transport through the crystal hydrate, based on (i) spectroscopic/computational evidence for the presence of molecular HX bonded to X(-) in each of the ionic hydrate phases and (ii) the relative E(a) values found for HBr and HCl diffusion. Monte Carlo modeling suggests acid transport to the reaction zone along boundaries between "nanocrystallites" generated by multiple hydrate nucleation events at the particle surfaces. The reverse conversion, of crystalline monohydrate particles to the dihydrate phase, as well as dihydrate to trihydrate, displays nearly constant rate throughout the particle conversion; suggesting desorption of HX from the particle surface as the rate-limiting factor. Like for D(e), the activation energies for desorption were found to be approximately 20% greater for HCl than HBr for related hydrate phases.

Abstract
The first study of free vaporization kinetics of ice at temperatures near its melting point is reported. The experimental approach employed is based on a unique combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy, microcalorimetry, and time-of-flight mass spectrometry, making it possible to overcome challenges associated with the introduction of volatile solids into a high vacuum environment. Measurements of the vaporization rate of polycrystalline ice demonstrate that the vaporization kinetics deviate dramatically from those predicted by a simple mobile precursor mechanism. The vaporization rate follows Arrhenius behavior from -40 to 0 degrees C with an effective activation energy of 50+/-4 kJ/mol, which is significantly higher than the value predicted by the simple mobile precursor mechanism. Extrapolation of earlier measurements conducted below -40 degrees C yields a value of approximately 0.02 at 0 degrees C for the vaporization coefficient alphav. In contrast, experimentally determined vaporization coefficient is found to be 0.7+/-0.3 and shows a weak dependence on temperature up to the bulk melting point. The role of possible surface phase transitions in the mechanisms of release and uptake of H2O and other chemical species by ice surfaces is discussed.

Abstract
This review accounts for the current knowledge about the distribution, accumulation, and chemical/photochemical transformations of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic compounds (PBTs) in water ice, especially in the connection with polar regions and atmospheric cloud particles. (Photo)reactions on/in ice are discussed in terms of photochemistry, photobiology, paleochemistry, as well as astrophysics. Authors propose a model, in which a significant amount of some PBTs are generated by (photo)chemistry of primary pollutants in ice, which may subsequently be released to the environment. It is argued that ice photochemistry might play an important role in the chemical transformations in cold ecosystems and in the upper atmosphere, particularly now when the ozone layer is partially depleted.

Abstract
A new infrared laser resonant desorption (LRD) technique has been developed that permits depth-profiling and diffusion measurements in ice. This LRD technique utilizes an Er:YAG rotary Q-switched laser with an output wavelength of lambda = 2.94 microm and a pulse duration of approximately 100 ns. The Er:YAG laser light resonantly excites O-H stretching vibrations in the H2O molecules that form the ice. This laser resonant heating induces H2O desorption at the ice surface. Control experiments were conducted on pure and isotopically mixed laminated ice films to determine the optimum experimental parameters for the LRD depth-profiling and diffusion measurements. Depending on laser energy, the measured desorption depth was either less than, comparable to, or larger than the optical penetration depth of approximately 0.8 microm at lambda = 2.94 microm. LRD studies were used to analyze H2 18O/H2 16O stacked multilayers and laminate sandwich structures. These measurements revealed that the LRD technique can depth-profile into ice films with submicrometer spatial resolution and high sensitivity. Two types of experiments employing LRD depth-profiling were demonstrated to monitor diffusion in ice. HCl hydrate diffusion in ice was measured versus time after depositing ice/HCl/ice sandwich structures. Na diffusion into ice was studied after adsorbing Na using a continuous Na source for a given exposure time at the diffusion temperature.

Abstract
Ice particles found within polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and upper tropospheric cirrus clouds can dramatically impact the chemistry and climate of the Earth's atmosphere. The formation of PSCs and the subsequent chemical reactions that occur on their surfaces are key components of the massive ozone hole observed each spring over Antarctica. Cirrus clouds also provide surfaces for heterogeneous reactions and significantly modify the Earth's climate by changing the visible and infrared radiation fluxes. Although the role of ice particles in climate and chemistry is well recognized, the exact mechanisms of cloud formation are still unknown, and thus it is difficult to predict how anthropogenic activities will change cloud abundances in the future. This article focuses on the nucleation, chemistry, and microphysical properties of ice particles composing PSCs and cirrus clouds. A general overview of the current state of research is presented along with some unresolved issues facing scientists in the future.
