Usually formed at low temperature and pressure - is there a "virtual" form of this phase - which derives from a substituted force --> i.e. "compreture" which is brought-on by electrostatic forces operating at close range over extended time frames ?
Ice-8 has a density of about 1.66 g cm^3 and triple points with ice-six and ice-seven (5°C, 2.1 GPa) and ice-seven and ice-ten (100 K, 62 GPa). The dielectric constant of ice-eight is about 4.
