Dynamic scaling of quasielastic neutron scattering spectra from interfacial water.

چکیده
A method for analysis of high-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra of water in porous media is proposed and applied to the case of water in hydrated tricalcium and dicalcium silicates. We plot the normalized frequency-dependent susceptibility as a function of a scaling variable [omega]/omega(p), where omega(p) is the peak position of the susceptibility function. QENS data have been scaled into a single master curve and fitted with an empirical formula proposed by Bergman to obtain three independent parameters describing the relaxation dynamics of hydration water in calcium silicates.

Quasielastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation studies of the melting transition in butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on graphite
Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics ~MD! simulations have been used to investigate molecular diffusive motion near the melting transition of monolayers of flexible rod-shaped molecules. The experiments were conducted on butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on an exfoliated graphite substrate. For butane, quasielastic scattering broader than the experimental energ...
متن کاملDynamic behavior of hydration water in calcium-silicate-hydrate gel: a quasielastic neutron scattering spectroscopy investigation.
The translational dynamics of hydration water confined in calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel was studied by quasielastic neutron scattering spectroscopy in the temperature range from 280 to 230 K. The stretch exponent β, the self-diffusion constant D, the average translational relaxation time {τ}, and the temperature dependence of confinement radius α extracted from the elastic fraction of im...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of fragile-to-strong dynamic crossover in DNA hydration water.
We used high-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering spectroscopy to study the single-particle dynamics of water molecules on the surface of hydrated DNA samples. Both H(2)O and D(2)O hydrated samples were measured. The contribution of scattering from DNA is subtracted out by taking the difference of the signals between the two samples. The measurement was made at a series of temperatures fr...
متن کاملProton fluctuations and water diffusion in dextran chemical hydrogels studied by incoherent elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering.
Proton fluctuations reporting local motions of the glycosidic linkages of chemically crosslinked dextran hydrogels with well defined pore-size distributions are studied by static and dynamic neutron-scattering approaches. The dependence of the dynamic behaviour of water on the pore sizes is also discussed.
متن کاملQuasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering investigation of fragile-to-strong crossover in deeply supercooled water confined in nanoporous silica matrices
We investigated, using quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, the slow single-particle dynamics of water confined in laboratory synthesized nanoporous silica matrices, MCM-41-S, with pore diameters ranging from 10 to 18 Å. Inside the pores of these matrices, the freezing process of water is strongly inhibited down to 160 K. We analysed the quasi-elastic part of the neutron scattering s...
