Abstract
Neutron diffraction with isotope substitution is used to determine the structures of high (HDA) and low (LDA) density amorphous ice. Both "phases" are fully hydrogen bonded, tetrahedral networks, with local order similarities between LDA and ice Ih , and HDA and liquid water. Moving from HDA, through liquid water and LDA to ice Ih , the second shell radial order increases at the expense of spatial order. This is linked to a fifth first neighbor "interstitial" that restricts the orientations of first shell waters. This "lynch pin" molecule which keeps the HDA structure intact has implications for the nature of the HDA-LDA transition that bear on the current metastable water debate.
