Abstract

A simple device based on splat cooling to liquid nitrogen temperatures is presented. Its application to the amorphization of binary aqueous solutions by fast cooling is demonstrated. The fraction of amorphous material obtained is 90% in eutectic solutions. Diffraction patterns of the vitrified solutions are presented and discussed.
