Abstract
AbstractIn order to investigate the temperature dependence of vibrational spectra of ice, we measured the Raman spectra of artificial ice Ih in the temperature range 198–270 K. The frequency of translational lattice vibrations decreases with increases in the measurement temperature, and the rate of decrease discontinuously changes at 237 K. The discontinuous change of the rate of decrease is consistent with the phase transition from a proton-disordered arrangement to a proton-ordered arrangement at the ice temperature Ti = 237 K in polar ice sheets, as proposed by Fukazawa and others (1998b). We then compared the Raman spectra of translational lattice vibrations in ice Ih and Antarctic ice and examined the possible effects of the phase transition on the geophysical properties of Antarctic ice. We also report preliminary results of the neutron powder diffraction of Dome Fuji (DF) Antarctic ice, and discuss arrangements of protons in DF ice.
