Abstract
AbstractDynamic compression studies have been used to study the nucleation kinetics of water to ice VII for decades. Diagnostics such as photon Doppler velocimetry, transmission loss, and imaging have been used to measure pressure/density, and phase fraction, while temperature has remained the difficult thermodynamic property to quantify. In this work, we measured pressure/density and implemented a diagnostic to measure the temperature. In doing so the temperature shows quasi-isentropically compressed liquid water forms ice at pressures below the previously defined metastable limit, and the liquid phase is not hypercoooled as previously thought above that limit. Instead, the latent heat raises the temperature to the liquid-ice-VII melt line, where it remains with increasing pressure. We propose a hypothesis to corroborate these results with previous work on dynamic compression freezing. These results provide constraints for nucleation models, and suggest this technique be used to investigate phase transitions in other materials.
