Abstract
A spherical single ice crystal with radius of 1-10um is first formed by freezing of a supercooled water droplet in cloud, then it grows into a hexagonal prism bounded by two basal {0001}-and six prism {1O1O}-faces by consuming supersaturated water vapor and develops into various forms, e.g. plate, column, dendrite, needle and so on, according to the growth conditions such as temperature and super saturation 1,2.
