Inelastic neutron-scattering study of free proton dynamics in /-MnO 2
نویسنده
چکیده
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements of "/-MnO 2 at 30, 100 and 200 K give S(Q, to) maps of intensity over large o 1 energy and momentum transfer ranges (from 0 to 1 eV and from 0 to 40 A , respectively). They reveal a ridge of intensity due to recoil of free particles with effective mass of -1 amu. The width of the recoil line is one order of magnitude greater than that anticipated from the kinetic momentum distribution of an isolated gas of protons at the temperature of the sample. Several models are considered: ideal gas obeying Maxwell-Boltzmann or Fermi statistics, multiple scattering, phonon wings, protons trapped in shallow potentials and quantum correlations between free and bound protons. None of them is satisfactory. Finally, broadening by zero-point motions of the lattice provides a satisfactory theoretical framework to represent the shape and intensity of the recoil spectra. New aspects of proton dynamics in 3,-MnO 2 are highlighted.

Proton dynamics in supercritical water
An inelastic neutron scattering experiment has been performed on supercritical water at high momentum transfer, up to 90 Å, in order to study single proton dynamics. The value of the proton mean kinetic energy has been extracted in the framework of the impulse approximation. The anisotropy of the proton momentum distribution inside a single water molecule is discussed. The extracted experimenta...

By using the convolution formalism which consists of Fermi motion and binding effect, we investigate the deep inelastic electron scattering from A=3 mirror in the deep-valence region. The initial valence quark input is taken from the GRVs (Gluck, Reya and Vogt) fitting procedure and the next-to-leading order QCD evolution on FP2 (x,Q2) which gives very good fit to the available data in the (x,Q...
متن کاملIsovector deformation and its link to the neutron shell closure
DWBA analysis of the inelastic S(p, p′) and O(p, p′) scattering data measured in the inverse kinematics has been performed to determine the isoscalar (δ0) and isovector (δ1) deformation lengths of the 2+1 excitations in the Sulfur and Oxygen isotopes using a compact folding approach. A systematic N-dependence of δ0 and δ1 has been established which shows a link between δ1 and the neutron-shell ...

Pressure dependence of the spin dynamics around a quantum critical point : An inelastic neutron scattering study of Ce 0.87 La 0.13 Ru 2 Si 2. Abstract. Inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed on a single crystal of the antiferromagnetic compound Ce 0.87 La 0.13 Ru 2 Si 2 under applied pressures of up to 5 kbar are reported. A quantum critical point is reached at around 2.6 kbar wher...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Water with Glycine: A Combined Inelastic Neutron Scattering and Raman Spectra Studies
The vibrational dynamics of water around glycine was investigated by using Raman spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering. Experiments of deuterated glycine versus deuterium were performed as comparison. The study shows that for glycine, the exchange of proton–deuteron on the active NH+3 side was easy, whereas there was hardly exchange on the CH2 side. Comparing different proportion of gly...
