Abstract
Oriented single crystalline samples of Ih-ice have been investigated by light scattering. The lade of observable phonon directional dispersion effects shows that ferroelectric domains with dimensions of the order of light wave lengths as stated earlier in the literature, do not exist. The depolarization ratio of the phonons originating from O-H stretching vibrations is found to be independent of the wave vector direction. This demonstrates clearly that the proton distribution is statistical.Keywords
