Structural Studies of Several Distinct Metastable Forms of Amorphous Ice

Abstract: Structural changes during annealing of high-density amorphous ice were studied with both neutron and x-ray diffraction. The first diffraction peak was followed from the high- to the low-density amorphous form. Changes were observed to occur through a series of intermediate forms that appear to be metastable at each anneal temperature. Five distinct amorphous forms were studied with neutron scattering, and many more forms may be possible. Radial distribution functions indicate that the structure evolves systema… Show more

“…The structure of amorphous ice is a crucial aspect in a comprehensive understanding of the thermodynamic properties of water [7]; in particular in light of the liquid-to-liquid phase transition hypothesis put forward by Stanley and coworkers to account for the anomalous thermodynamic properties of water [8,9]. That is, two distinct liquid phases in the deeply supercooled regime are predicted (low-density liquid LDL and high-density liquid HDL), which are believed to be associated with the corresponding amorphous ice phases, LDA and HDA, respectively [10][11][12][13].…”
