Microscopic dynamics of glycerol: a QENS study
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on a quasielastic incoherent neutron scattering (QENS) experiment on liquid glycerol. QENS data were collected at the temperature T=380 K and with a resolution (FWHM) R=55μeV. The analysis of the quasielastic signal enables us to draw a consistent picture of the diffusive mechanism on a picosecond time scale and to compare with most recent models for glycerol dynamics. Model selection, performed with the fitting algorithm FABADA, gives us a preliminary description about the motions of the glycerol molecules in its liquid state.

Supercooled water in PVA matrixes. II. A molecular dynamics simulation study and comparison with QENS results.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to elucidate the dynamic behavior of water confined in poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, hydrogels. Model topology is supported by experimental network parameters, and simulation results are compared to an incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) investigation carried out on PVA hydrogels. From the QENS dynamic scattering law (part I), a ran...
متن کاملRole of hydrogen bonds in the fast dynamics of binary glasses of trehalose and glycerol: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
Trehalose-glycerol mixtures are known to be effective in the long time preservation of proteins. However, the microscopic mechanism of their effective preservation abilities remains unclear. In this article we present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the short time, less than 1 ns, dynamics of four trehalose-glycerol mixtures at temperatures below the glass transition temperature. We fo...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of selective heating of molecules adsorbed in nanopores under microwave radiation.
We have performed in situ quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements on zeolite-guest systems under microwave irradiation, for comparison with corresponding simulations. Both experiment and simulation reveal selective heating of methanol in silicalite, but little to no heating of benzene in silicalite. Effective translational and rotational temperatures extracted from QENS data under m...
متن کاملRotational dynamics of propane in Na-Y zeolite: a molecular dynamics and quasielastic neutron-scattering study.
We report results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quasielastic neutron-scattering (QENS) measurements on the rotational dynamics of propane in Na-Y zeolite at room temperature with a loading of four molecules per alpha cage. Rotational part of the intermediate scattering function F(Q,t) obtained from the MD simulation suggests that rotational motion is faster relative to the transl...
متن کاملOn the microscopic mechanism behind the purely orientational disorder-disorder transition in the plastic phase of 1-chloroadamantane.
Globular molecules of 1-chloroadamantane form a plastic phase in which the molecules rotate in a restrained way, but with their centers of mass forming a crystalline ordered lattice. Plastic phases can be regarded as test cases for the study of disordered phases since, contrary to what happens in the liquid phase, there is a lack of stochastic translational degrees of freedom. When the temperat...
