Title: In situ x-ray diffraction study of polyamorphism in H2O under isothermal compression and decompression

Abstract

Amorphous-amorphous transformations in H2O have been studied under rapid isothermal compression and decompression in a diamond anvil cell together with in situ x-ray diffraction measurements using brilliant synchrotron radiation. The experimental pathways provide a density-driven approach for studying polyamorphic relations among low-, high-, and very high-density amorphs (LDA, HDA, VHDA) in a pressure range of 0-3.5 GPa at temperatures of 145-160 K. Our approach using rapid (de) compression allows for studying the polyamorphic transformations at higher temperatures than the conditions previously studied under slow (de) compression or isobaric annealing. Multiple compression-decompression cycles can be integrated with in situ x-ray measurements, thus facilitating the study of repeatability and reversibility of the polyamorphic transformations. Fast in situ x-ray diffraction measurements allow for obtaining detailed insight into the structural changes across polyamorphic transformations regarding the (dis) continuity, reversibility, and possible intermediate forms. As demonstrated at isothermal conditions of 145 K and 155 K, the polyamorphic transformations are characterized by a sharp and reversible LDA-VHDA transformation, with an HDA-like form (referred to as HDA' appearing as an intermediate state. The LDA-VHDA transformation is found to occur in two steps: a discontinuous transition between LDA and HDA' and a continuous change within HDA' involving structuralmore » reconfigurations and finally converging to VHDA.
