With the purpose of clarifying a number of points raised in the experimental literature, we investigate by molecular dynamics simulation the thermodynamics, the structure and the vibrational properties of vapor-deposited amorphous ice (ASW) as well as the phase transformations experienced by crystalline and vitreous ice under ion bombardment. Concerning ASW, we have shown that by changing the conditions of the deposition process, it is possible to form either a nonmicroporous amorphous deposit whose density (~1.0 g/cm3) is essentially invariant with the temperature of deposition, or a microporous sample whose density varies drastically upon temperature annealing. We find that ASW is energetically different from glassy water except at the glass transition temperature and above. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulation shows no evidence for the formation of a high-density phase when depositing water molecules at very low temperature. In order to model the processing of interstellar ices by cosmic ray protons and heavy ions coming from the magnetospheric radiation environment around the giant planets, we bombarded samples of vitreous ice and cubic ice with 35 eV water molecules. After irradiation the recovered samples were found to be densified, the lower the temperature, the higher the density of the recovered sample. The analysis of the structure and vibrational properties of this new high-density phase of amorphous ice shows a close relationship with those of high-density amorphous ice obtained by pressure-induced amorphization.
