Medium-density amorphous ice

Abstract: Amorphous ices govern a range of cosmological processes and are potentially key materials for explaining the anomalies of liquid water. A substantial density gap between low-density and high-density amorphous ice with liquid water in the middle is a cornerstone of our current understanding of water. However, we show that ball milling “ordinary” ice I h at low temperature gives a structurally distinct medium-density amorphous ice (MDA) within this density gap. These results raise the pos… Show more

“…Moreover, even liquid water is ice-like when nano-con ned or at the interface with solids 6 , which renders the physics of ice also relevant to life science and electrochemistry 7,8 . Despite the ongoing interest and large body of knowledge on ice 3 , new phases 9,10 and anomalous properties 11 continue to be discovered, suggesting our understanding of this ubiquitous material is far from complete.…”

“…That is, ice water contracts upon melting, exhibiting a negative change in volume (Δ V < 0). This is just one of many anomalous properties of water that are attributed to its network of hydrogen bonds, which includes a recently detected new amorphous phase. However, whereas some of water’s other anomalies can be found , in other substances, this volume change property appears unique to water.…”

“…Curiously, water is also one of the most complex substances known. For example, there are more than 20 forms of ice and two different liquid states of water at low temperatures. , In the out-of-equilibrium glassy state, water exhibits polyamorphism; the two most common forms of glassy water being low-density and high-density amorphous ice (LDA and HDA, respectively). Interestingly, the most common form of water in the universe is LDA (more specifically, amorphous solid water, ASW). In the laboratory, LDA can be prepared at P = 0.1 MPa and approximately T < 130 K by different routes, including hyperquenching the liquid , and by vapor deposition on a cold substrate …”
