Ice VI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ice VI is a tetragonal crystalline form of ice formed by cooling water to 270 K at 1.1 GPa. It exhibits Debye relaxation. A proton-ordered form of ice VI has been predicted but not proven, as ice XV near 108-80 K.

Ordinary water ice is known as ice I_h, (in the Bridgman nomenclature). Different types of ice, from ice II to ice XIV, have been created in the laboratory at different temperatures and pressures.
