The growth dynamics of D<sub>2</sub>O ice in liquid H<sub>2</sub>O in a microfluidic device were investigated between the melting points of D<sub>2</sub>O ice (3.8 °C) and H<sub>2</sub>O ice (0 °C). As the temperature was decreased at rates between 0.002 °C/s and 0.1 °C/s, the ice front advanced but retreated immediately upon cessation of cooling, regardless of the temperature. This is a consequence of the competition between diffusion of H<sub>2</sub>O into the D<sub>2</sub>O ice, which favors ...[more]
