Segmental dynamics in unentangled isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (i-, a-, and s-PMMA) melts confined between pristine graphene, reduced graphene oxide, RGO, or graphene oxide, GO, sheets is studied at various temperatures, well above glass transition temperature, via atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The model RGO and GO sheets have different degrees of oxidization. The segmental dynamics is studied through the analysis of backbone torsional motions. In the vicinity of the model nanosheets (distances less than ≈2 nm), the dynamics slows down; the effect becomes significantly stronger with increasing the concentration of the surface functional groups, and hence increasing polymer/surface specific interactions. Upon decreasing temperature, the ratios of the interfacial segmental relaxation times to the respective bulk relaxation times increase, revealing the stronger temperature dependence of the interfacial segmental dynamics relative to the bulk dynamics. This heterogeneity in temperature dependence leads to the shortcoming of the time-temperature superposition principle for describing the segmental dynamics of the model confined melts. The alteration of the segmental dynamics at different distances, d, from the surfaces is described by a temperature shift, ΔTseg(d) (roughly speaking, shift of a characteristic temperature). Next, to a given nanosheet, i-PMMA has a larger value of ΔTseg than a-PMMA and s-PMMA. This trend correlates with the better interfacial packing and longer trains of i-PMMA chains. The backbone torsional autocorrelation functions are shown in the frequency domain and are qualitatively compared to the experimental dielectric loss spectra for the segmental α-relaxation in polymer nanocomposites. The εT″(f) (analogous of dielectric loss, ε″(f), for torsional motion) curves of the model confined melts are broader (toward lower frequencies) and have lower amplitudes relative to the corresponding bulk curves; however, the peak frequencies of the εT″(f) curves are only slightly affected.

The structural damage of molecules irradiated by electrons is generally considered to occur in two steps. The direct result of inelastic scattering events is the disruption of covalent bonds. Following changes in bond structure, movement of the constituent atoms produces permanent distortions of the molecules. Since at least the second step should show a strong temperature dependence, it was to be expected that cooling a specimen should extend its lifetime in the electron beam. This result has been found in a large number of experiments, but the degree to which cooling the specimen enhances its resistance to radiation damage has been found to vary widely with specimen types.

The high voltage Lorentz microscopy was successfully used to observe changes with temperature; of domain structures and metallurgical structures in an iron film set on the hot stage combined with a goniometer. The microscope used was the JEM-1000 EM which was operated with the objective lens current cut off to eliminate the magnetic field in the specimen position. Single crystal films with an (001) plane were prepared by the epitaxial growth of evaporated iron on a cleaved (001) plane of a rocksalt substrate. They had a uniform thickness from 1000 to 7000 Å.The figure shows the temperature dependence of magnetic domain structure with its corresponding deflection pattern and metallurgical structure observed in a 4500 Å iron film. In general, with increase of temperature, the straight domain walls decrease in their width (at 400°C), curve in an iregular shape (600°C) and then vanish (790°C). The ripple structures with cross-tie walls are observed below the Curie temperature.
