Abstract
Detailed structural studies using powderneutron diffraction have been carried out on ices III and IX on both under‐pressure and recovered samples. The incomplete hydrogen ordering in recovered ice IX first observed by La Placa et al. is confirmed, and our studies suggest similar orderings for the under‐pressure and recovered phases. Sample history was observed to influence the lattice constants of ice IX, an effect which could relate to hydrogen ordering. There is an indication that ice III is not fully disordered, a conclusion which would be consistent with independent thermodynamic measurements.
