Abstract
Scientific Highlight in the ILL Annual Report 2007 In-depth knowledge of the interactions ruling the dynamics of molecular liquids is crucial to understand their nano-scale properties, also relevant to active fields as biology and alternative-fuel engineering. A dynamical approach to the interactions in polyatomic fluids long remained unattempted. An nconventional use of inelastic neutron scattering and simulations shows how sensitively anisotropic potentials can be discerned, and further reveals the molecularpair geometry favouring the observed dynamics: a technique, first applied to methane, acting as a prototypical dynamical nanoscope of molecular liquids.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
