Abstract
Low-temperature metastable melting lines of crystalline ices were experimentally studied. The melting lines were detected in the no-man’s land, and it suggested existence of supercooled liquid water below the homogeneous nucleation temperature. The melting line of D2O ice III continued smoothly into the no-man’s land at low pressure, and the line strongly curved at about 230 K and 0.02 GPa. This suggested that liquid water continuously changed from a high-density state to a low-density state along the melting line; the existence of the low-density liquid state was suggested. The existence of the low-density liquid was also suggested by experiments like the short-duration X-ray-diffraction measurement and the infrared-spectra measurement. In contrast to the smooth melting line of Ice III, the slopes of the melting lines of ice IV and ice V appeared to change suddenly. This implied the existence of a first-order liquid–liquid transition and the existence of a liquid–liquid critical point.
