Solid-water films thinner than 0.8 nrn were confined between the mercury surfaces of a squeezable tunnel junction at 265~3 K. Uniaxial compression of the films was performed electrostatically by changing the junction bias. Mean compressive displacements were calculated from the nonlinear current
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
