deposition environments, and in clathrate structures involving small |
| 490 |
|
non-polar molecules. Figs. \ref{fig:gofr} and \ref{fig:sofq} contain |
| 491 |
|
our predictions for both the pair distribution function ($g_{OO}(r)$) |
| 492 |
< |
and the structure factor ($S(\vec{q})$ for ice $I_c$ and for ice-{\it |
| 493 |
< |
i} at a temperature of 77K. In our initial comparison of the |
| 494 |
< |
predicted S(q) for Ice-{\it i} and experimental studies of amorphous |
| 495 |
< |
solid water, it is possible that some of the ``spurious'' peaks that |
| 496 |
< |
could not be assigned in an early report on high-density amorphous |
| 497 |
< |
(HDA) ice could correspond to peaks labeled in this |
| 498 |
< |
S(q).\cite{Bizid87} It should be noted that there is typically poor |
| 499 |
< |
agreement on crystal densities between simulation and experiment, so |
| 495 |
< |
such peak comparisons should be made with caution. We will leave it |
| 496 |
< |
to our experimental colleagues to make the final determination on |
| 497 |
< |
whether this ice polymorph is named appropriately (i.e. with an |
| 498 |
< |
imaginary number) or if it can be promoted to Ice-0. |

and the structure factor ($S(\vec{q})$ for ice $I_h$, $I_c$, and for |

ice-{\it i} at a temperature of 77K. In studies of the high and low |
| 494 |

density forms of amorphous ice, ``spurious'' diffraction peaks have |

been observed experimentally.\cite{Bizid87} It is possible that a |

variant of Ice-{\it i} could explain some of this behavior; however, |

we will leave it to our experimental colleagues to make the final |
