Dynamics
Chemical Separation Molecular sieves separate chemical species via different rates of diffusion
Carbogenic molecular sieves areused to separate oxygen and nitrogen.The ratio of diffusivities is ~ 20:1.

Dynamics
Li ions move from a transition metal oxide to a carbon electrode by traversing a polymer electrolyte in response to a flow of electrons supplied by an external circuit.
Batteries and Fuel Cells Solid state batteries and fuel cells depend on the rapid diffusion of ions both in the electrodes and through the electrolyte.

Dynamics
Protein Function The biological activity of a protein depends on its ability to fold into its own native state. Protein function relies on structure and dynamics.
Dynamic actin based structures areimportant in cell shape changes andmotility, cytokinesis and other processes.Here we see the diffusion pathways forwater to reach the active site. These arebelieved to be relevant for the dissociationof phosphate after hydrolysis.

Dynamics
Fundamental Information on Interactions in Materials
Structural probes yield indirect information on interactions in materials by locating the minimumof the potential. Dynamical probes,including neutron scattering, revealinformation on the shape of thepotential.

Why Neutrons
Nuclear Interaction• strong but very short ranged• no electrostatic interaction (overall interaction is weak)
=> neutrons easily penetrate experimental apparatus
• scattering power varies “randomly” from isotope to isotope => isotopic labeling
=> scattering from light elements comparable to that from heavy elements
![Page 7: Dynamics and Neutron Scattering Dan Neumann NIST Center for Neutron Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042900/56813066550346895d964093/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Nuclear Interaction
scattering power varies “randomly” from isotope to isotope
Cross section ( - Area related to the probability that a neutron will interact with a nucleus in a particular way (e.g. scattering or absorption)
For systems containing a reasonableproportion of H atoms, scatteringfrom H tends to dominate
For a single nucleus 10-24 cm2
Relative total scattering cross sections for a few isotopes

Nuclear Interaction
• scattering power varies “randomly” from isotope to isotope• nuclear spin dependence of the interaction
Not all nuclei in a sample consisting of only one element or even only isotope necessarily scatter identically
=> RANDOMNESS
If the scattered neutron waves from the different nuclei have definite relative phases, they can interefere
=> COHERENT SCATTERING
If the scattered neutron waves from the different nuclei have RANDOM relative phases, they don’t interefere
=> INCOHERENT SCATTERING

Why Neutrons
• comparable to interatomic and intermolecular distances• comparable to x-rays
=> interference effects
cold neutrons - long wavelengths - longer length scales
Wavelength ~ A’so
![Page 10: Dynamics and Neutron Scattering Dan Neumann NIST Center for Neutron Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042900/56813066550346895d964093/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why Neutrons
Energy ~ meV’s• comparable to the time scale of many motions in materials
=> inelastic scattering from vibrations, diffusion, reorientations, and relaxational processes can be observed
• light E ~ eV’s ~ 1000 A’s Q ~ 0 (selection rules)• x-rays E ~ keV’s ~ A’s
cold neutrons - lower energies - longer time scales

Why Neutrons
Magnetic Moment• neutrons interact directly with magnetic materials
=> magnetic structures=> magnetic excitations

Scattering function
S(Q,) = Sinc(Q,) + Scoh(Q,)
Sinc(Q,) is the time and space Fourier transform of the SELF correlation function
Scoh(Q,) is the time and space Fourier transform of the PAIR correlation function
* Spin Echo measures the INTERMEDIATE scattering function I(Q,t)

Dynamicsand
Neutron Scattering
The dynamics of a system reflect the interatomic and intermolecular interactions which are responsible for the properties of materials
Neutron Scattering is an excellent way to study dynamics
