Formation of nanoscale vapour films governing thermal resistance in amorphous ice

Among the many anomalous properties of water, the formation of amorphous ice is one of its most intriguing phenomena. When water vapour is deposited at very low temperatures, it forms an amorphous solid known as amorphous solid water (ASW). Here, we combine X-ray free-electron laser pump–probe diffraction, continuum he...
