Metastable ice VII at low temperature and ambient pressure
@article{Klotz1999MetastableIV, title={Metastable ice VII at low temperature and ambient pressure}, author={Stefan Klotz and J. M. Besson and Gerard J. Hamel and Richard J. Nelmes and John S. Loveday and W G Marshall}, journal={Nature}, year={1999}, volume={398}, pages={681-684} }
Ice exhibits many solid-state transformations under pressure, and also displays a variety of metastable phases. Most of the high-pressure phases of ice can be recovered at ambient pressure provided that they are first cooled below about 100 K. These ice polymorphs might exist on the surfaces of several satellites of the outer planets. One of the few exceptions to this (meta)stability on quenching has been ice VII, the dominant high-pressure phase. Here we show that isothermal compression of D2O…

These extensive investigations provide previously missing information on the phase diagram of water, especially on the kinetic paths that result in formation of phases which otherwise are not accessible; these results are keys for understanding the phase relations including the formation of metastable phases.

High density amorphous (HDA) ice is formed from metastable ice VII in the stability field of ice VI under rapid compression using dynamic-diamond anvil cell (d-DAC) and results from structural similarities between HDA and ice VII, indicating that structural instabilities of parent ice VII and Ih drive the pressure-induced amorphization.

A perspective on the metastability and complexity of the energy landscape in temperature/time-dependent structural evolution in amorphous ices is presented and large-scale molecular-dynamics calculations show that the structural evolution from HDA to LDA is continuous and involves substantial movements of the water molecules at the nanoscale.
