In this paper we present the results of a Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) study of the hydrogen dynamics of water and ice 2D-adsorbed in GO layered sponges at T = 293 K and T = 20 K, using neutrons with high momentum, ℏq, and energy transfers, ℏω.

We present the results of a detailed investigation of the inelastic neutron scattering from diatomic N2, at wave-vector transfers in the range Q = 20–100 Å−1 (1Å = 10−10 m). At intermediate Q, the scattering shows structure arising from the vibrational modes of the molecule, while at large Q the scattering is well described by the impulse approximation for the individual atoms, despite the fact that the corresponding energy transfers are considerably less than the maximum molecular excitation energies. We find good agreement for all Q with a calculation incorporating the internal rotational and vibrational modes of the molecule explicitly.

Incoherent inelastic neutron-scattering spectra of DNA and gelatin samples with different hydration levels were measured with the TOSCA spectrometer at ISIS, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Comparison with the spectra of different ice phases shows that for water contents up to 0.75 g water/g DNA and 0.5 g water/g gelatin the optical region (20–50 meV) is almost featureless, similar to high-density amorphous ice (HDA). The librational band is shifted to lower energy transfers and its edge at 55 meV matches again the spectrum of HDA ice. For water contents of 1 g water/g DNA and 0.75 g water/g gelatin resemblance to spectra of ice Ih and low-density amorphous ice (LDA) is obvious. PACS Nos.: 61.12Ex, 82.39Jn

ABSTRACTUsing a combination of x-ray diffraction, volumetric adsorption and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) the adsorption properties of methane within the channels of L-Isoleucyl-L-Valine (IV) and L-Valyl-L-Alanine (VA) dipeptides have been investigated. These biomaterials have quasi one-dimensional channels of tunable diameters in the range of 3-6 Å and offer possibilities for selective adsorption, as well as, water and gas transport properties. High-resolution volumetric methane adsorption measurements performed near 100K for IV find that this biomaterial exhibits an adsorption capacity of ∼100 m2/g. High-resolution Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) measurements were performed at the Spallation Neutron Source using the BASIS spectrometer with ∼ 3.5 μeV resolution. The data clearly indicate that at least two spectral features at energy transfers near 100 and 200 μeV are present, which suggests a lowering of the hindering potential for methane reorientation primarily about the three-fold axis within the IV channels. Such features play a key role in understanding details concerning the potential energy surface. These thermodynamic and INS studies suggest that the flexibility and dynamical motion within the dipeptide channels may play a significant role in the adsorption properties.
