β¦ Synopsis
Electrokinetic measurements and potentiometric titrations of indium oxide (commercially available reagent grade powder, washed with NaOH and HNO(3) to remove strongly adsorbed species) indicate the pristine point of zero charge to be pH 8.7. The isoelectric point at pH 9 was obtained for gallium oxide prepared in the same way. These values match the pristine point of zero charge of alumina, but they are much higher than the values reported for indium oxide and gallium oxide in the literature. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

The ice/water interface is a common and important part of many biological, environmental, and technological systems. In contrast to its importance, the system has not been extensively studied and is not well understood. Therefore, in this paper the properties of the H(2)O ice/water and D(2)O ice/wat
