Popis: The growth, evolution, and annealing of closed and interconnected pores in amorphous and crystalline films of water ice grown under a range of conditions have been studied by variable-energy positron annihilation spectroscopy (VEPAS). By measuring positron and positronium-related annihilation parameters as a function of time and film temperature it is shown that VEPAS has the capacity to yield a wealth of depth-dependent information on film morphology, with particularly promising results on the evolution and annealing of subnanometer closed pores---inaccessible to other techniques---and the study of the energetics of structural and phase changes.
