ABSTRACTThe results of a Brillouin scattering study of the room temperature phases of H2;O (liquid, ice VI and ice VII) up to 30 GPa are presented. Longitudinal elastic moduli thus obtained are compared with values of the bulk modulus obtained from density measurements [1] and with both static and molecular dynamics calculations of the bulk modulus using potentials which have been proposed in studies of the liquid state. The calculations indicate that the potentials are not capable of describing the high pressure region of ice VII.

The zeroth and second moment of the collision induced light scattering in argon have been measured as a function of the density in the gas phase up to 530 amagat at room temperature and in the liquid phase near the triple point. The experimental results have been compared with molecular dynamics calculations in both phases assuming the dipole – induced dipole model and an empirical form for the interaction induced polarizability anisotropy which was previously derived from the dilute gas experiments. The overall agreement between the calculated values of the moments employing the empirical model of anisotropy and the experimental ones is very satisfactory. In particular, the value of considering both the moments for this comparison is pointed out.

AbstractMolecular dynamics calculations have been carried out on a primitive model of a Langmuir-Blodgett film. The model consists of a patch of 151 molecules, each with a head group and a 19 pseudoatom tail, physisorbed on a planar substrate at room temperature. The aggregated patch is found to be a stable entity for the duration of the calculation (200 ps), with structural features similar to those found in previous calculations on a monolayer system which employed periodic boundary conditions but no explicit headgroup. Results are presented for the density distribution normal to the surface, the average chain tilt angle distribution and for the number of gauche defects.

In this study, we report a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of three glycol derivatives, namely ethane-1,2-diol, 2-methoxyethan-1-ol and 1,2-dimethoxy ethane. For the first time, the X-ray spectra of the latter two liquids was measured at room temperature, and they were compared with the newly measured spectrum of ethane-1,2-diol. The experimental diffraction patterns were interpreted very satisfactorily with molecular dynamics calculations, and suggest that in liquid ethane-1,2-diol most molecules are found in gauche conformation, with intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the two hydroxyl groups. Intramolecular H-bonds are established in the mono-alkylated diol, but the interaction is weaker. The EDXD study also evidences strong intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions, with short O···O correlations in both systems, while longer methyl-methyl interactions are found in 1,2-dimethoxy ethane. X-ray studies are complemented by micro Raman investigations at room temperature and at 80 °C, that confirm the conformational analysis predicted by X-ray experiments and simulations.

Brillouin scattering from hypersonic waves in the eye lenses of many animals has been observed with a multipass Fabry Perot interferometer. The measured values of speed and attenuation range widely among the different species and in different parts of any one lens. These variations correlate broadly with the observed stiffness and the densities that have been measured with a graded column. From the spectroscopic and density measurements high-frequency elastic moduli may be derived. The results are also evaluated at a macromolecular level in terms of scattering of hypersonic waves from spherical entities composed of the crystallins and their aggregates. Reasonable agreement is obtained for the hypersonic speed for lower protein concentration; the hypersonic attenuation and variation with scattering vector are consistent with the presence of large aggregates (of order 100 nm radius) in certain of the materials.
