The isobaric transformation behavior of unannealed (uHDA) and expanded (eHDA) high-density amorphous ice at pressures up to 0.20 GPa is compared using powder x-ray diffraction and dilatometry. eHDA shows high thermal stability and crystallizes to a single ice phase only, whereas uHDA shows much lower thermal stability and always crystallizes to a mixture of ice phases. Unexpectedly, at low temperatures hexagonal ice grows first from uHDA, whereas this phase never crystallizes from eHDA. This leads us to conclude that hidden structural order in the form of nanocrystalline domains is present in uHDA, which triggers growth of hexagonal ice. By contrast, these ordered domains are absent in eHDA, which appears to be a homogeneous material and, thus, could be considered as a candidate for the low-temperature proxy of the proposed high-density liquid phase of water. The present work provides the basis for further experimental studies aiming at investigating this possibility since it establishes that the well-studied uHDA is not the right material to be studied in this context, whereas the more recently discovered eHDA is.
