X-ray and neutron scattering studies of the structure of hyperquenched glassy water.

X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements were performed on glassy water prepared by rapid cooling of water droplets on a cryoplate. Structure factors and radial distribution functions were found to be nearly identical to those obtained from amorphous ice formed either by vapor deposition onto substrates cooled at 77 K or after heating the high-density amorphous ice.
