β¦ Synopsis
The thermodynamic stability of hexagonal and cubic ices are examined by evaluating the free energies of those two phases over a wide range of temperature. One hundred proton-disordered configurations are generated for each form of ice, and a lattice dynamics calculation is applied. It is shown that the free energy of hexagonal ice is about 100 J mol -t lower than that of cubic ice, and therefore more stable in the calculated temperature range (53-273 K). This is in agreement with experiment.

The transformation of cubic to hexagonal ice has been studied by measuring the time dependence of the dependence of the disappearance and reappearance of the MSssbauer effect in frozen aqueous solutions containing ferrous, ferric and europic ions. The rate of transformation is significantly decrease
## JNTRODUCTION Faujasi te is a zeolite with widespread industrial applications. The crystal structure of faujasite (structure type FAU) can be described as a cubic close packing of so-called sodalite cages connected by double six-rings of SiOl tetrahedra. The corresponding hexagonal close-packed
