Changes in diffuse scattering background for the rapid-cooling experiment, showing (top) change from liquid to ice to the precipitation point of salt phases. After an hour, at ∼175 K, there is an increase (inset) in diffuse scatter due to an increase in static disorder at low temperature related to increased rigidity of the bonded water molecules in the salt phases. (Bottom) Slowly cooled experiment. The rise in diffuse scatter occurs between 120 and 150 days at or near base temperature for the cell (245 K). This increase is attributed to an amorphous phase arising from the freezing of liquid water at low temperatures, as a result of a reduction in salinity due to precipitation of salt phases. See discussion in Section 3.2[link].
