Journal ArticleDOI
Neutron Compton scattering from amorphous hydrogenated carbon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used neutron Compton scattering (NCS) measurements to determine the kinetic energies of atoms in samples of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H), graphite and diamond at momentum transfers between 40 and 300 AA-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic and vibrational origins of mechanical toughness in bioactive cement during setting
Kun V. Tian,Bin Yang,Bin Yang,Yuanzheng Yue,Yuanzheng Yue,Daniel T. Bowron,J. Mayers,Robert S. Donnan,Csaba Dobó-Nagy,John W. Nicholson,De-Cai Fang,A. Lindsay Greer,Gregory A. Chass,G. Neville Greaves,G. Neville Greaves,G. Neville Greaves +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show quantitatively, through the use of calorimetry, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and neutron scattering, how GIC's developing fracture toughness during setting is related to interfacial THz dynamics, changing atomic cohesion and fluctuating interfacial configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-femtosecond dynamics and dissociation of C-H bonds in solid polystyrene and liquid benzene
TL;DR: In this article, Chatzidimitriou-Dreismann et al. provided the first results of the sub-femtosecond dynamics of C-H bond dissociation of solid fully protonated polystyrene at T≈295 K, applying neutron Compton scattering (NCS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Single particle dynamics in fluid and solid hydrogen sulphide: An inelastic neutron scattering study
Carla Andreani,E. Degiorgi,Roberto Senesi,F. Cilloco,Daniele Colognesi,J. Mayers,Michele Nardone,E. Pace +7 more
TL;DR: Inelastic neutron scattering experiments were performed at intermediate and high momentum transfer, up to 88.2 A−1, to study the temperature dependence of single hydrogen mean kinetic energy in polycrystalline and liquid hydrogen sulphide (H2S), in the temperature range 16-206 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the 3D Born-Oppenheimer potential of a proton in a hydrogen-bonded system via Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering: the superprotonic conductor Rb(3)H(SO(4))(2).
TL;DR: The first direct measurement of the proton 3-D Born-Oppenheimer potential in any material is reported, in qualitative agreement with phenomenological double Morse potentials that have been used to describe hydrogen bonds in other systems.
