a Correlation between fluctuating adhesion force and time for 2D-3D coexisting ice and 3D ice detached from smooth Pt surface. FA is the fluctuating adhesion force between ice and solid substrate. Set is the pulling force acting on ice as a function of time. It represents that the initial value of acceleration is 0 and increases linearly with 5.734*10−9 nm·fs−2. Bidoseresp fitting is the least-square fitting of the datas for the part below the “set” line using the bidirectional-dose-response function. εw-Pt means the energy parameter between the 2D ice or 2D-3D ice and the walls. b Ice adhesion strength σ vs energy parameter ε. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD (standard deviation), n = 3. c A sequence of snapshots of the 2D-3D coexisting ice detachment process. d A sequence of snapshots of the 3D ice detachment process. e Variation of ice adhesion strength versus the ratio εw-Pt/(kBT) for the 2D-3D coexisting ice and 3D ice systems. The dash lines are obtained by linear fitting of the data.
