The Open-Access Journal for the Basic Principles of Diffusion Theory, Experiment and Application Structure-Transport Relationship in Organized Soft Matter Systems by Diffusion NMR

چکیده
In this paper we demonstrate and discuss the potentials of pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) at high magnetic field and high magnetic field gradients for uncovering the relationship between the structural and transport properties of soft matter systems. The reported diffusion studies are focused on room temperature ionic liquids and their mixtures with carbon dioxide or water as well as on multicomponent lipid bilayers. Both types of systems exhibit a well-defined structural organization on various length scales. Our experimental approach allows correlating this structural organization with the transport properties. The diffusion data were obtained by proton and carbon-13 PFG NMR. The experimental studies were in some cases complemented by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations.

1. Introduction Simple alcohols form supramolecular clusters that are held together by hydrogen bonding between their hydroxyl groups. In order to determine their size we propose a novel combination of experimental and computational methodologies. The experimental methodology is based on PFG NMR. The theoretical approach consists of quantum chemical calculations that provide input for HydroNMR ...

1. Introduction PFG NMR experiment is in principle capable to provide important transport-structural parameters of system consisting of a liquid confined in a porous matrix such as surface-to-volume ratio and tortuosity. The apparent diffusion coefficient is easily obtained in the case of Gaussian shape of the diffusion propagator. Dependence of these values on the diffusion time in a short tim...

1. Introduction Diffusion, i.e. the irregular movement of molecules, is quantified by measuring the rate of molecular fluxes in the direction of falling concentration. In contrast to intuition, considering methanol diffusion in a novel type of nanoporous material (MOF ZIF-8) this rate has now been found to be enhanced rather than slowed down by an opposing flux of labelled molecules [1,2]. In t...
متن کاملCluster-Resolved Dynamic Scaling Theory and Universal Corrections for Transport on Percolating Systems
For a continuum percolation model, it has been shown recently that the crossoverfrom pure subdiffusion to normal diffusion extends over five decades in time [1, 2]; inaddition, the asymptotic behavior is slowly approached and the large corrections cannotsimply be ignored. Thus, it is of general interest to develop a systematic description ofuniversal corrections to scaling i...
