Characterisation of glassy NaCl:D2O by neutron diffraction
In this proposal we intend to characterize samples of glassy salt solutions, NaCl:11D2O, which were produced in our laboratory by hyperquenching the liquid from 300 K to 77 K. As far as we know, such disordered compounds are not known to up to present. We intend to investigate the degree of amorphisation as well as the transitions occurring during warm-up. The results would allow a comparison with the well studied case of LiCl:D2O glass and give insight into the properties and behavior of aqueous solutions in general. Given the omnipresence of salt water, the results might have wider implications beyond physico-chemistry.
