Hence, a large number of hypothetical zeolite-like porous ices can be generated based on the structural frameworks of zeolites in the IZA-SC database (http://www.iza-structure.org/databases/). For example, Tribello and Slater proposed hypothetical SGT and DDR clathrate hy- drates (23). Matsui et al.

In this work, we examined more than 200 hypothetical low-density porous ices whose structures are generated according to a database of zeolite structures. Most importantly, we identified ultralow-density porous EMT ice that is not only energetically favorable but also thermodynamically stable in the reconstructed phase diagram of water ice.

    Phase equilibrium of liquid water and hexagonal ice from enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations Pablo M. Piaggi1 and Roberto Car2 1)Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA a) 2)Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA (Dated: 13 May 2020) We study the phase equilibrium between liquid water and ice Ih modeled by the TIP4P/Ice interatomic potential using enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach is based on the calculation of ice Ih-liquid free energy differences from simulations that visit reversibly both phases. The reversible interconversion is achieved by introducing a static bias potential as a function of an order parameter. The order parameter was tailored to crystallize the hexagonal diamond structure of oxygen in ice Ih. We analyze the effect of the system size on the ice Ih-liquid free energy differences and we obtain a melting temperature of 270 K in the thermodynamic limit. This result is in agreement with estimates from thermodynamic integration (272 K) and coexistence simulations (270 K). Since the order parameter does not include information about the coordinates of the protons, the spontaneously formed solid configurations contain proton disorder as expected for ice Ih. I.

  • Evasive Ice X and Heavy Fermion Ice XII: Facts and Fiction About High

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.

We find that pressure induces a mechanical instability, which is initiated by the softening of an acoustic phonon occurring at an incommensurate wavelength, followed by the collapse of the entire acoustic band and by the violation of the Born stability criteria. It is argued that phonon collapse may be a quite general feature of pressure-induced amorphization. The implications of our findings for the amorph- ization of ice Ih are also discussed.

Mazzeo Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Brigham Young University August 2011 Copyright © 2011 Aaron M. Swan All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Multi-year Arctic Sea Ice Classification Using QuikSCAT Aaron M. Swan Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Master of Science Long term trends in Arctic sea ice are of particular interest with regard to global tem- perature, climate change, and industry. This thesis uses microwave scatterometer data from QuikSCAT and radiometer data to analyze intra- and interannual trends in first-year and multi-year Arctic sea ice. It develops a sea ice type classification method. The backscatter of first-year and multi-year sea ice are clearly identifiable and are observed to vary seasonally. Using an average of the annual backscatter trends obtained from QuikSCAT, a classification of multi-year ice is obtained which is dependent on the day of the year (DOY). Validation of the classification method is done using regional ice charts from the Canadian Ice Service. Differences in ice classification are found to be less than 6% during the winters of 06-07, 07-08, and the end of 2008. Anomalies in the distribution of sea ice backscatter from year to year suggest a reduction in multi-year ice cover between 2003 and 2009 and an approximately equivalent increase in first-year ice cover.

  • Ice Ic Without Stacking Disorder by Evacuating Hydrogen from Hydrogen Hydrate

Under certain conditions, ice with a cubic stacking sequence can also be formed, 1234567890():,; but ideal ice Ic without stacking-disorder has never been formed until recently. Here we demonstrate a route to obtain ice Ic without stacking-disorder by degassing hydrogen from the high-pressure form of hydrogen hydrate, C2, which has a host framework isostructural with ice Ic. The stacking-disorder free ice Ic is formed from C2 via an intermediate amorphous or nano-crystalline form under decompression, unlike the direct transformations occurring in ice XVI from neon hydrate, or ice XVII from hydrogen hydrate. The obtained ice Ic shows remarkable thermal stability, until the phase transition to ice Ih at 250 K, originating from the lack of dislocations. This discovery of ideal ice Ic will promote understanding of the role of stacking-disorder on the physical properties of ice as a counter end-member of ice Ih. 1 Geochemical Research Center, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan. 2 Neutron Science and Technology Center, CROSS, 162-1 Shirakata, Tokai, Naka, Ibaraki 319-1106, Japan. 3 Graduate Faculty of Interdisciplinary Research, University of Yamanashi, 4-3-11 Takeda, Kofu, Yamanashi 400-8511, Japan.
