I want to use Raman spectra to discuss the micro-structure of supercooled water. Does anyone know the lowest temperature of super-cooled water?How can I reach the lowest temperature? Is there any particular consideration? Thanks a lot.
Supercooled water loses its liquid-like behaviour around -40 ºC [1-4].

Carlos Araújo Queiroz, Thanks very much! Do you have experience to do some experiment about supercooled water? I know the lowest temperature is in the range of -50 ºC~ -40 ºC, but I doubt whether I can reach the lowest temperature. The second reference is not an English paper. And I can find lots of paper about supercooled water on google scholar. thanks again for your kind answer.
Hello,
I did my PhD thesis on supercooled water using as experimental techniques Brillouin light scattering and depolarized Rayleigh scattering. Therefore, I had to pass an Ar+ laser beam through the samples, which means that one needs a minimum volume of water to be analyzed. Furthermore, the laser beam could not touch the walls of the glass container. The water to be studied was in a "capillary" tube with an internal diameter of 2 mm and 30 mm long. Using very pure water, I was able to supercool the water down to -20 ºC (minus 20). You can find some details of the experimental setup on the following papers and references therein:
O. Conde, J. Teixeira, P. Papon, J. Chem. Phys. 76(7), 3747 (1982)

Для глубокого переохлаждения воды необходимо максимально устранить влияние готовых центров образования новой фазы(посторонние включения, растворенные газы, трещины и поры сосуда). Их роль становится меньше, если проводить охлаждение быстро. Тогда преобладает гомогенное образование новой фазы и при меньшей температуре.
