Abstract

It is well known that ice is the solid phase of water. The molecules in solid ice may be arranged in numerous different ways, called phases, depending on the temperature and pressure. At temperatures below 0 °C and above about −80 °C, at standard atmospheric pressure, water molecules are arranged in orderly repetitive positions to form a crystalline solid with hexagonal symmetry, which is the most abundant of the varying solid phases on the Earth’s surface and is referred to as normal hexagonal ice, namely “ice Ih” (Furukawa in Encyclopedia of snow, ice and glaciers. Springer, Berlin, pp 557–560, 2011).
