Relaxation time of water's high-density amorphous ice phase.
نویسنده
چکیده
Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy of pressure amorphized hexagonal ice shows that water's high-density amorphous form relaxes in approximately 1 s at 140 K and 1 GPa and that the relaxation is virtually unaffected by pressure. This indicates that the amorph is an ultraviscous liquid above 140 K, the same as would be obtained by supercooling water at 1 GPa through its ice VI phase boundary, and that the glass transition temperature is independent of pressure and close to that of amorphous solid water produced at atmospheric pressure.

Water's second glass transition.
The glassy states of water are of common interest as the majority of H2O in space is in the glassy state and especially because a proper description of this phenomenon is considered to be the key to our understanding why liquid water shows exceptional properties, different from all other liquids. The occurrence of water's calorimetric glass transition of low-density amorphous ice at 136 K has b...
متن کاملWater polyamorphism: reversibility and (dis)continuity.
An understanding of water's anomalies is closely linked to an understanding of the phase diagram of water's metastable noncrystalline states. Despite the considerable effort, such an understanding has remained elusive and many puzzles regarding phase transitions in supercooled liquid water and their possible amorphous proxies at low temperatures remain. Here, decompression of very high density ...

The high-frequency reorientation dynamics of O–H bonds is investigated in various amorphous ices including eHDA (expanded high density amorphous ice), LDA-II (low density amorphous ice II) and HGW (hyperquenched glassy water) using H-NMR spin–lattice relaxation as a local probe. Both low density forms, HGW and LDA-II, show similar spin–lattice relaxation but differ in the thermal stability with...

Dielectric relaxation spectra of a metastable crystal phase formed on implosive and exothermic transformation of pressure-amorphized hexagonal ice have been measured in situ at 0.97 GPa pressure over a range of temperature. The metastable phase showed no relaxation peak at 130 K and 0.97 GPa. When heated at a fixed pressure of 0.97 GPa, it began to transform at approximately 145 K exothermally ...
متن کاملRelaxation time of high-density amorphous ice.
Amorphous water plays a fundamental role in astrophysics, cryoelectron microscopy, hydration of matter, and our understanding of anomalous liquid water properties. Yet, the characteristics of the relaxation processes taking place in high-density amorphous ice (HDA) are unknown. We here reveal that the relaxation processes in HDA at 110-135 K at 0.1-0.2 GPa are of collective and global nature, r...
