Anomalies of the baric and temperature dependences of the elastic characteristics of ice during solid-phase amorphization and the phase transition in the amorphous state

The elastic characteristics of ice up to pressures of 1.7 GPa are determined for the first time at a temperature of 77 K, along with features of their variation associated with the phase transformation of hexagonal ice I h into high-density amorphous ice hda . The elastic instability of the ice lattice before solid-phase amorphization is experimentally confirmed. Elastic instability during a transition from one amorphous state to another amorphous state was also observed for the first time; this took place when hda ice was warmed at p =0.05 GPa from T =77 K.
