Link to Densify: Topological Transitions and Origin of Hysteresis During the (De)Compression of Amorphous Ices

Yair Augusto Gutiérrez Fosado, Davide Michieletto, Fausto Martelli

In this Letter we study the phase transition between amorphous ices and the nature of the hysteresis cycle separating them. We discover that a topological transition takes place as…
