The vibrational spectra of high density amorphous (hda) ice and hexago
nal crystalline ice (ice Ih) have been determined for frequencies -0.1
0 less-than-or-equal-to nu less-than-or-equal-to 3.66 THz by means of
high resolution incoherent inelastic neutron scattering measurements o
n H2O samples at 11 and 80 K. The measurements at 11 K clearly reveal
an excess of low-frequency modes for the amorphous phase.
