Advances in the study of supercooled water

P Gallo, J Bachler, LE Bove, R Böhmer… - The European Physical …, 2021 - Springer
In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its
uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids …

Advances in the experimental exploration of water's phase diagram

CG Salzmann - The Journal of chemical physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Water's phase diagram displays enormous complexity with currently 17 experimentally
confirmed polymorphs of ice and several more predicted computationally. For almost 120 …

Ice-VII inclusions in diamonds: Evidence for aqueous fluid in Earth's deep mantle

O Tschauner, S Huang, E Greenberg, VB Prakapenka… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Water-rich regions in Earth's deeper mantle are suspected to play a key role in the global
water budget and the mobility of heat-generating elements. We show that ice-VII occurs as …

Stability of high-temperature salty ice suggests electrolyte permeability in water-rich exoplanet icy mantles

JA Hernandez, R Caracas, S Labrosse - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Electrolytes play an important role in the internal structure and dynamics of water-rich
satellites and potentially water-rich exoplanets. However, in planets, the presence of a large …

[HTML][HTML] Nucleation and growth of crystalline ices from amorphous ices

CM Tonauer, LR Fidler, J Giebelmann… - The Journal of …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

Salt-and gas-filled ices under planetary conditions

LE Bove, U Ranieri - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In recent years, evidence has emerged that solid water can contain substantial amounts of
guest species, such as small gas molecules—in gas hydrate structures—or ions—in salty ice …

Salty ice and the dilemma of ocean exoplanet habitability

B Journaux - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Habitability of exoplanet's deepest oceans could be limited by the presence of high-pressure
ices at their base. New work demonstrates that efficient chemical transport within deep …

Electrolyte Permeability in Plastic Ice VII

F Martelli - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2023 - ACS Publications
Deep brines in water-rich planets form when electrolytes diffuse from the rocky interior
through layers of thick dense ice such as ice VII and the hypothesized plastic ice VII. We …

Novel High‐Pressure Potassium Chloride Monohydrate and Its Implications for Water‐Rich Planetary Bodies

X Wei, Q Zhou, F Li, C Zhang, F Sun… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Saline water is a common fluid on the Earth's surface and in ice planets. Potassium chloride
(KCl) is a common salt and is expected to be a ubiquitous solute in salt water in the …

Influence of polarizability on the prediction of the electrical double layer structure in a clay mesopore: A molecular dynamics study

S Le Crom, C Tournassat, JC Robinet… - The Journal of Physical …, 2020 - ACS Publications
The prediction of the water and ion density profiles in the electrical double layer (EDL) is a
key insight for macroscopic models that intend to model transport and swelling properties in …
