Abstract

An isotopic effect arising from the substitution of superheavy water molecules for normal water molecules in ice (Ih) has been studied by the lattice dynamics method in a quasi-harmonic approximation using a rigid three-point potential modified to reproduce the superheavy water properties. It has been shown that the considerable variation of the vibrational state density upon substituting 12.5, 50, and 100% of water molecules takes place only in the range of libration. The temperature dependence of the superheavy ice density has been calculated, and the density maximum for this ice near 60 K has been predicted. A relationship between the melting point of (T2O + H2O)-ice Ih and the T2O molecule concentration in its structure has been constructed, and this relationship has been found to be linear.
