Cryogenic Differential Calorimetry: Exothermicity of Amorphous-to-crystalline Phase Transitions (ACPT) in Astrophysical and Cometary Ice Analogs

Amorphous ice is understood to be the predominant phase of water in cometary nuclei. A significant number of other volatiles can be trapped in amorphous H _2 O ice and released during the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition (ACPT). This phase transition is an exothermic and is considered a pot...
