Collective dynamics in fully hydrated phospholipid bilayers studied by inelastic x-ray scattering.
The short wavelength density fluctuation of DLPC (dilaurylphosphatidylcholine) bilayers close to full hydration has been studied by the inelastic x-ray scattering technique below and above the main transition temperature. The analysis based on a generalized three effective eigenmode theory allows us to construct the dispersion relation of the high frequency sound mode for the first time. The ma...
متن کاملGlass Studied by Neutron and X-Ray Diffraction
The short-range order of K P 0 3 glass has been studied by diffraction methods in order to make evident the different behaviour of the P-O bonds within the P 0 4 tetrahedron. The oxygen sites are devided into bridging and terminal (non-bridging) oxygen sites, corresponding to two P 0 bond lengths, the difference of which amounts to 14.5 pm. Previous conclusions about the changes of the P 0 bond...
متن کاملDeformation in Metallic Glasses Studied by Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction
High mechanical strength is one of the superior properties of metallic glasses which render them promising as a structural material. However, understanding the process of mechanical deformation in strongly disordered matter, such as metallic glass, is exceedingly difficult because even an effort to describe the structure qualitatively is hampered by the absence of crystalline periodicity. In sp...
متن کاملStructure of GeO(2)-P(2)O(5) glasses studied by x-ray and neutron diffraction.
The structures of three xGeO(2)-(1- x)P(2)O(5) glasses, where x = 0.98,0.88, and 0.81, have been studied by neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments that yield well resolved P-O and Ge-O bond distances. The Ge-O coordination number (N(GeO)) increased from 4.0 ± 0.2 to 4.5 ± 0.2 with the decrease in x from 0.98 to 0.81. The increase in N(GeO) is consistent with a structural model that assumes t...
متن کاملCollective chain dynamics in lipid bilayers by inelastic x-ray scattering.
We investigated the application of inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) to lipid bilayers. This technique directly measures the dynamic structure factor S(q,omega) which is the space-time Fourier transform of the electron density correlation function of the measured system. For a multiatomic system, the analysis of S(q,omega) is usually complicated. But for multiple bilayers of lipid, S(q,omega) is...
