  1. Neutron Spin Echo Spectroscopy(NSE) 2003 Summer School NCNR, NIST Gaithersburg, MD 20890 Group A Alina Visinoiu Erick Lawson Gokhan Caliskan Jose Rodriguez Kapil Gupta Martin Sulic Mike Lewis Tessema Xabiher

  2. Goals: • Spontaneous curvature • Bending elasticity • Saddle splay elasticity Spontaneous curvature, bending elasticity, saddle splay elasticity Diffusion shape fluctuations NSE (t scale ~ 1 - 10 ns) Why NSE? H2O Surfactant film C10H22 Surfactant Diffusion: • NMR • Dynamic light scattering (t scale > 100 ns) Shape fluctuations are in very short time and length scales!

  3. Experimental AOT Surfactant molecule Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tail Experiment I Diffusion of AOT micelles in C10D22 (5.4 % vol. fraction) Experiment II Shape fluctuations in AOT/D2O/C10D22 microemulsion (5.4/4.6/90 % vol. fraction) Inverse microemulsion droplet Inverse spherical micelle Shape fluctuations D2O ~ 25 AOT Translational diffusion AOT C10D22 C10D22 Translational diffusion

  4. • elastic scattering • inelastic scattering   0 ± 0  <cos(±)> Angle B Principle of NSE L Neutrons posses spin and magnetic moment. They precess in magnetic fields with the Larmor frequency that depends on the strangth of the magnetic field only. (g =1.83108 s-1T-1) S N B B sample n !

  5. Experiment II AOT/D2O/C10D22 microemulsion Summary of data analysis Experiment I AOT micelles in C10D22 • Goal: • Calculate the bending modulus of elasticity • Calculate the frequency of deformation

  6. Echo Point determination Echo Point:- Phase current where the magnetic field integral in the two magnets are balanced. • Measured echo point for 13 fourier time points at three Q values (.05,.085,.12)

  7. Results • Faster decay at high Q

  8. Results • Stokes-Einstein Relationship: • D = (1-)kBT/6Rh, • Rmicelle=1.6nm • Remulsion= 3.4nm Values are in good agreement with the SANS Data.

  9. Q independent Q dependent • Fitting model Results

  10. Bending modulus 2- damping frequency <|a|2> - amplitude of deformation p2- size polydispersity, measured by SANS k= .1kBT • Fluctuations are thermal in origin

  11. Summary • Energy resolution is very high (10-5meV) • Measures the Intermediate scattering function(I(Q,t)) • Provides information on the Brownian dynamics of the particle • Very small shape fluctuations can be characterized Acknowledgements • NIST/NCNR staff • NSF
