Thermal conductivity of low-density amorphous ice

• The thermal conductivity λ of low-density amorphous ice was measured using the transient hot-wire method in the temperature range 70–135 K at a pressure of 0.1 GPa. The amorphous state was formed at 135 K by pressurising hexagonal ice up to about 1 GPa. The results for λ are roughly temperature and pressure independent and in magnitude about 0.6 W m−1 K−1, which is roughly equal to λ for water. These results for λ of amorphous ice are several orders of magnitude larger than those reported recently for a specimen prepared by a vapour deposition technique.
