Abstract

Significance Glassy water is abundant, occurring in such varied circumstances as thin films condensed on interstellar dust particles and as hosts to hyperquenched protein crystals. Yet quantitative understanding of this class of materials is limited, hampered by lack of formalism needed to systematically treat long time scales and far-from-equilibrium behaviors. Here, we describe a theory to overcome some of this difficulty and apply the theory with simulation to establish the existence of distinct amorphous ices and coexistence between them. This advance allows systematic treatment of dynamics interconverting and melting these nonequilibrium solids, and thereby provides principled explanations of experiments that have probed these processes.
