Anharmonic Nuclear Dynamics and the Stability Conundrum of Hexagonal and Cubic ice

Abstract: Recently, pure polycrystalline cubic ice (Ic) has been finally obtained exploiting the thermal decomposition of ice XVII, a novel chiral phase. This method allows for the production of large quantities of ice Ic, which turns out to be metastable up to about 220 K, when it irreversibly transforms into standard hexagonal ice. From a thermodynamic point of view, it is in principle accepted that Ic is metastable in its entire range of existence (135 K
