Abstract

What is Amorphous Solid Water? Amorphous solid water (ASW) is a solid phase of water that is metastable with respect to the crystalline phase [1,2]. It is metastable because it is “trapped” in a configuration that has a higher free energy than the equilibrium crystalline configuration [3]. Amorphous solids, also known as glasses, are often described as structurally arrested or “frozen” liquids. Amorphous solids are most often formed when a liquid is cooled fast enough that crystallization does not occur prior to the system reaching a temperature where the structural relaxation timescale is long compared to the laboratory timescale, i.e. 100 s. The temperature where this occurs is called the glass transition temperature, T g .
