Summary

In this report, pure water was used and single crystal ice was formed in supercooled water. The shape of the crystal was measured in three-dimensions using the Mach-Zehnder spectro-interferometer. The volume of the crystal was measured. It was found that the volume depends upon time and the degree of supercooling, and an experimental equation was derived. Furthermore, the projected area normal to c-axis was measured. It was found that the area depends not only on time but also on the degree of supercooling.
