COLD NEUTRON SCATTERING AND DIFFUSIVE MOTIONS IN HYDROGEN BONDED LIQUIDS
An analysis of the quasi-elastic'' scattering of cold neutrons in hydrogeneous liquids in which the scattering is mostly incoherent gives an insight into the nature of diffusive motions of the entity containing protons. A series of coid neutron scattering experiments was performed in glycerol to investigate the scattering and diffusive motion phenomena. The width of the quasi-elastic peak at five different temperatures and determinations of the effective diffusion constant values are presented and discussed. The frequency spectra of glycerol at 268 deg K is derived from the observed inelastically scattered spectra in both solid and liquid phases. The evidence presented indicates that Hbonded liquids behave dynamically very much like quasicrystalline soiids. (H.D.R.)
