Abstract

The structure of amorphous solid water was simulated using hand-built models and a computer relaxation procedure. The structure of high temperature amorphous ice was reproduced by a continuous random network model of tetrahedrally bonded water molecules with 5, 6, 7 and 8-fold rings of oxygen atoms and a small amount of 4-fold rings. The structure of the low-temperature form of amorphous ice was reproduced in the framework of a model containing only 6 and 8-fold rings of atoms. In this model Van der Waals forces between the oxygen atoms must be also introduced.
