Holzapfel* Fachbereich Physik, Universita( t-GH Paderborn, D-33095 Paderborn, Germany Abstract Recent theoretical and experimental results on the structure and dynamics of ice in wide regions of pressure and temperature are compared with earlier models and predictions to illustrate the evasive nature of ice X, which was originally introduced as completely ordered form of ice with short single centred hydrogen bonds isostructural CuO. Due to the lack of experimental information on the proton ordering in the pressure and temperature region for the possible occurrence of ice X, effects of thermal and quantum delocalization are discussed with respect to the shape of the phase diagram and other structural models consistent with present optical and X-ray data for this region. Theoretical evidences for an additional orthorhombic modification (ice XI) at higher pressures are confronted with various reasons supporting a delocalization of the protons in the form of a heavy fermion system with very unique physical properties characterizing this fictitious new phase of ice XII.

  • Electromagnetism Based Atmospheric Ice Sensing Technique - a Conceptual Review
    Int. Jnl. of Multiphysics Volume 6 · Number 4 · 2012 341 Electromagnetism based atmospheric ice sensing technique - A conceptual review Umair N. Mughal*, Muhammad S. Virk and M. Y. Mustafa High North Technology Center Department of Technology, Narvik University College, Narvik, Norway ABSTRACT Electromagnetic and vibrational properties of ice can be used to measure certain parameters such as ice thickness, type and icing rate. In this paper we present a review of the dielectric based measurement techniques for matter and the dielectric/spectroscopic properties of ice. Atmospheric Ice is a complex material with a variable dielectric constant, but precise calculation of this constant may form the basis for measurement of its other properties such as thickness and strength using some electromagnetic methods. Using time domain or frequency domain spectroscopic techniques, by measuring both the reflection and transmission characteristics of atmospheric ice in a particular frequency range, the desired parameters can be determined. Keywords: Atmospheric Ice, Sensor, Polar Molecule, Quantum Excitation, Spectroscopy, Dielectric 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. ATMOSPHERIC ICING Atmospheric icing is the term used to describe the accretion of ice on structures or objects under certain conditions. This accretion can take place either due to freezing precipitation or freezing fog. It is primarily freezing fog that causes this accumulation which occurs mainly on mountaintops [16]. It depends mainly on the shape of the object, wind speed, temperature, liquid water content (amount of liquid water in a given volume of air) and droplet size distribution (conventionally known as the median volume diameter). The major effects of atmospheric icing on structure are the static ice loads, wind action on iced structure and dynamic effects.

  • Hidden Force Floating Ice
    Hidden force floating ice Chang Q Sun, [email protected] Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Because of the segmental specific-heat disparity of the hydrogen bond (O:H-O) and the Coulomb repulsion between oxygen ions, cooling elongates the O:H-O bond at freezing by stretching its containing angle and shortening the H-O bond with an association of larger O:H elongation, which makes ice less dense than water, allowing it to float.

  • Open Questions on the Structures of Crystalline Water Ices ✉ Thomas Loerting 1 , Violeta Fuentes-Landete1,2, Christina M
    COMMENT https://doi.org/10.1038/s42004-020-00349-2 OPEN Open questions on the structures of crystalline water ices ✉ Thomas Loerting 1 , Violeta Fuentes-Landete1,2, Christina M. Tonauer 1 & Tobias M. Gasser1 1234567890():,; Water can form a vast number of topological frameworks owing to its hydrogen- bonding ability, with 19 different forms of ice experimentally confirmed at pre- sent. Here, the authors comment on open questions and possible future dis- coveries, covering negative to ultrahigh pressures. The hydrogen bond as envisioned by Linus Pauling is key to the structures of H2O ices. A hydrogen bond can be characterised as O–H⋯O, where the hydrogen atom is linked via a short covalent bond to the donor oxygen and via the longer bond to the acceptor. The one feature that makes ice structures so diverse is that four hydrogen bonds can be formed by a water molecule, although it has only three atoms. Thereby, two atoms may act as H donors, two as H acceptors. In ice, as opposed to water clusters or liquid water, all four hydrogen bonds are developed, resulting in a tetrahedral coordination around each water molecule. This local coordination motif is called the Walrafen pentamer and is found in almost all ice structures1. Hydrogen bonding at ultrahigh pressure Figure 1 summarises the phase diagram for water in a very broad pressure regime, up to pressures as high as encountered in the interior of the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune. Only at ultrahigh pressures, exceeding 50 GPa, the Walrafen pentamer breaks down. In this pressure regime, the hydrogen atom becomes centred between the two oxygen atoms.

  • Ice-Eight (Ice VIII)
    Ice-eight (Ice VIII) Ice-eight (ice VIII) is formed from ice-seven (ice VII) by lowering its temperature (see Phase Diagram).The hydrogen bonding is ordered and fixed as ice-seven undergoes a proton disorder- order transition to ice eight when cooled at about 5 °C; ice-seven and ice-eight having identical structures apart from the proton ordering. The proton ordering causes a slightly distortion in the ice- seven cubic lattice (a,b slighltly shorter, c slightly longer) resulting in a tetragonal crystal structure (I41/amd, 141; Laue class symmetry 4/mmm) where all of the water molecules are hydrogen bonded to four others, two as donor and two as acceptor. Similarly to ice-seven, ice-eight consists of two interpenetrating cubic icelattices. It has a density of about 1.66 g cm-3 (at 8.2 GPa and 223 K [8]), which is less than twice the cubic ice density as the intra-network O····O distances are longer to allow for the interpenetration. Ice- eight's molar volume is slightly smaller (by 0.65 mm3 mol-1) than that of ice-seven along the phase transition line. Ice-eight has triple points with ice-six and ice-seven (5 °C, 2.1 GPa) and ice-seven and ice-ten (100 K, 62 GPa). The dielectric constant of ice-eight is about 4. The crystal (shown opposite) has cell dimensions a, b = 4.4493 Å, c = 6.413 Å (90º, 90º, 90º; D2O, at 2.6 GPa and 22 °C [362]), containing eight water molecules per unit cell.

  • Combinatorial Entropy and Phase Diagram of Partially Ordered Ice Phases Luis G
    JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS VOLUME 121, NUMBER 20 22 NOVEMBER 2004 Combinatorial entropy and phase diagram of partially ordered ice phases Luis G. MacDowell, Eduardo Sanz, Carlos Vega, and Jose´ Luis F. Abascal Dpto. de Quı´mica Fı´sica, Facultad de Ciencias Quı´micas, Universidad Complutense, 28040 Madrid, Spain ͑Received 8 July 2004; accepted 30 August 2004͒ A close analytical estimate for the combinatorial entropy of partially ordered ice phases is presented. The expression obtained is very general, as it can be used for any ice phase obeying the Bernal-Fowler rules. The only input required is a number of crystallographic parameters, and the experimentally observed proton site occupancies. For fully disordered phases such as hexagonal ice, it recovers the result deduced by Pauling, while for fully ordered ice it is found to vanish. Although the space groups determined for ice I, VI, and VII require random proton site occupancies, it is found that such random allocation of protons does not necessarily imply random orientational disorder. The theoretical estimate for the combinatorial entropy is employed together with free energy calculations in order to obtain the phase diagram of ice from 0 to 10 GPa. Overall qualitative agreement with experiment is found for the TIP4P model of water. An accurate estimate of the combinatorial entropy is found to play an important role in determining the stability of partially ordered ice phases, such as ice III and ice V. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. ͓DOI: 10.1063/1.1808693͔ I.
