Spectroscopy inelastic neutron

Supplementary to other vibrational spectroscopies, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy is a very useful technique for studying organic molecules as it is extremely sensitive to the vibrations of hydrogen atoms. INS spectroscopy has been used to analyze the molecular dynamics of the energetic compound ANTA 5 <2005CPL(403)329>.

It is important to mimic not only the static structures but also their dynamic properties. Conformational transitions, changes of folds, denaturation, and renaturation of biopolymers can be understood better if lattice dynamics, phase transitions, amor-phization of crystalline amino acids and small peptides are studied and compared with those in synthetic polyaminoacids and in two-dimensional layers at the interfaces. Variable-temperature [44, 64-84] and variable-pressure [29, 81, 82, 85-134] IR- and Raman spectroscopy, inelastic neutron scattering, SAXS, NMR, X-ray and neutron diffraction, DSC are applied to study the structure and dynamics of crystalline amino acids, small peptides, synthetic polymers, interface layers and biopolymers [73-153].

Experimental bulk moduli can be obtained from the measurement of lattice parameters and volumes as a function of pressure [30]. The single crystal elastic moduli can be measured using the Brillouin spectroscopy, inelastic neutron scattering, ultrasonic measurements or the Schaefer-Bergmann method [31]. Once the single crystal moduli are known one can derive the bulk B and shear G moduli of a polycrystalline material [32].

The organization of this chapter is the following. After definition of some physical constants to be kept in mind and an abstract presentation of infrared and Raman spectroscopy, inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy is featured in Section 2. In Section 3, the long lasting problem of force-field calculation is enlightened by comparison of calculated and observed INS profiles. By direct comparison, unrealistic dynamical models can be eliminated quite safely. 

Methane is one of the best-understood adsorbates in zeolites. By the concomitant application of infrared spectroscopy, inelastic neutron scattering and theoretical studies the interaction of this molecule and its dynamic behaviour have been carefully investigated by Cohen de Lara et al. [114-122]. Chapter 4 deals in detail with neutron scattering studies on this molecule.

Vibrational spectroscopy provides detailed infonnation on both structure and dynamics of molecular species. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy are the most connnonly used methods, and will be covered in detail in this chapter. There exist other methods to obtain vibrational spectra, but those are somewhat more specialized and used less often. They are discussed in other chapters, and include inelastic neutron scattering (INS), helium atom scattering, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), photoelectron spectroscopy, among others. 

At T < tunneling occurs not only in irreversible chemical reactions, but also in spectroscopic splittings. Tunneling eliminates degeneracy and gives rise to tunneling multiplets, which can be detected with various spectroscopic techniques, from inelastic neutron scattering to optical and microwave spectroscopy. The most illustrative examples of this sort are the inversion of the...

Vibrations in molecules or in solid lattices are excited by the absorption of photons (infrared spectroscopy), or by the scattering of photons (Raman spectroscopy), electrons (electron energy loss spectroscopy) or neutrons (inelastic neutron scattering). If the vibration is excited by the interaction of the bond with a wave... 

The dynamical behaviour of the atoms in a crystal is described by the phonon (sound) spectrum which can be measured by inelastic neutron spectroscopy, though in practice this is only possible for relatively simple materials. Infrared and Raman spectra provide images of the phonon spectrum in the long wavelength limit but, because they contain relatively few lines, these spectra can only be used to fit a force model that is too simple to reproduce the full phonon spectrum of the crystal. Nevertheless a useful description of the bond dynamics can be obtained from such force constants using the methods described by Turrell (1972). 

Only a very few polynuclear complexes containing more than two chromium(III) centers have been studied so far. However, magnetochemical and inelastic neutron scattering studies, heat capacity measurements, and emission spectroscopy have been reported for various tetranuclear species (40,142 151). Two review articles dealing with the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of chromium(III) oligomers have recently appeared (127, 128). 

Neutron spectroscopy (also referred to as inelastic neutron scattering) has been used to measure the extent of guest-host interactions in a hydrate lattice, which help to explain the anomalous thermal behavior of hydrates (e.g., low thermal... 

The final chapters of this book review the progress of three recently developed techniques that provide information about the vibrational states of adsorbed molecules. Perhaps the most important of these techniques is electron energy loss spectroscopy that, despite its inherent low resolution, gives valuable information on vibrational modes that are either inactive in the IR, or inaccessible because of experimental difficulties. The applications of this technique are discussed in two chapters by Somorjai and Weinberg. The review of new experimental techniques concludes with presentations on inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy and neutron scattering by Kirtley and Taub.
