Pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) is a phenomenon that involves an abrupt transition
between a crystalline material and an amorphous solid through application of pressure at …

This paper summarizes the scientific trends associated with the rapid development of the
technique of high‐energy X‐ray diffraction over the past decade pertaining to the field of …

Water exists in high-and low-density amorphous ice forms (HDA and LDA), which could
correspond to the glassy states of high-(HDL) and low-density liquid (LDL) in the metastable …

Amorphous ices are usually classified as belonging to low-density or high-density
amorphous ice (LDA and HDA) with densities ρ LDA≈ 0.94 g/cm3 and ρ HDA≈ 1.15− 1.17 …

The well-known expansion of water on cooling below 277 K is one of several peculiar
properties that could signal a second critical point near 220 K and 0.1 GPa in pressure, deep …

We investigate the downstroke transition from high-(HDA) to low-density amorphous ice
(LDA) at 140 (H2O) and 143 K (D2O). The visual observation of sudden phase separation at …

Phase transitions in the liquid state can be related to pressure-driven fluctuations developed
in the density (ie, the inverse of the molar volume; ρ= 1/V) or the entropy (S (T)) rather than …

We here review mostly experimental and some computational work devoted to nucleation in
amorphous ices. In fact, there are only a handful of studies in which nucleation and growth in …

The structure factor and oxygen–oxygen pair-distribution functions of amorphous ices at
liquid nitrogen temperature (T= 77 K) have been derived from wide-angle X-ray scattering …

On compressing low-density amorphous ice (LDA) at 125 K up to 1.6 GPa, two distinct
density steps accompanied by heat evolution are observable in pressure-density curves …
