Suppression of Segmental Chain Dynamics on a Particle's Surface in Well-Dispersed Polymer Nanocomposites

June 18, 2024
Author(s)
Jihyuk Kim, Benjamin Thompson, Taiki Tominaga, Takahito Osawa, Takeshi Egami, Stephan Forster, Michael Ohl, Erkan Senses, Antonio Faraone, Norman J. Wagner
The Rouse dynamics of polymer chains in model nanocomposite polyethylene oxide/silica nanoparticles (NPs) was investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. The apparent Rouse rate of the polymer chains decreases as the particle loading increases

Pivotal Roles of Triple Screening-Topological, Electrostatic, and Hydrodynamic-On Dynamics in Semidilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions

March 26, 2024
Author(s)
Rajeev Kumar, Ali Slim, Antonio Faraone, Jan-Michael Carrillo, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Murugappan Muthukumar, Amanda Marciel, Jacinta Conrad
For semidilute polyelectrolyte solutions, it is generally assumed that topological, electrostatic, and hydrodynamic interactions are screened (called triple screening). Despite a large body of research focused on polyelectrolyte solutions, the concept of

Reorientational Dynamics in Y(BH4)3:xNH3 (x = 0, 3 and 7): The Impact of NH3 on BH4- Dynamics

March 9, 2024
Author(s)
Jakob Grinderslev, Ulrich Haussermann, T. Jensen, Antonio Faraone, Michihiro Nagao, M. Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic, M. Andersson
The reorientational dynamics of Y(BH4)3·xNH3 (x = 0, 3, and 7) was studied using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and neutron spin echo (NSE). The results showed that changing the number of NH3 ligands drastically alters the reorientational mobility

Neutron Spin Echo Spectroscopy with a Moving Sample

August 11, 2023
Author(s)
Manuchar Gvaramia, Philipp Gutfreund, Peter Falus, Antonio Faraone, Michihiro Nagao, Max Wolff
Neutron spin echo spectroscopy is a high resolution inelastic neutron scattering method probing nanosecond dynamics. It is well suited to study the atomistic motion in polymer systems and contributes to our understanding of viscoelasticity. However, for

Dynamics of the Extended and Intermediate Range Order in Model Polymer Electrolyte Poly(Ethylene Oxide) and Lithium Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide

April 17, 2023
Author(s)
Peter Falus, Antonio Faraone, Stephan Forster, Kunlun Hong, Michael Ohl
The dynamics of lithium ions and polymer chains were investigated at the molecular scale in the model polymer electrolyte Poly (Ethylene Oxide) (PEO)/Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as a function of temperature. This system is known to present

All-Temperature Zinc Batteries with High-Entropy Aqueous Electrolyte

January 9, 2023
Author(s)
Chongyin Yang, Jiale Xia, Chunyu Cui, Travis P. Pollard, Jenel Vatamanu, Antonio Faraone, Joseph Dura, Madhu Sudan N. Tyagi, Alex Kattan, Elijah Thimsen, Jijian Xu, Wentao Song, Enyuan Hu, Xiao Ji, Singyuk Hou, Xiyue Zhang, Michael S. Ding, Sooyeon Hwang, Dong Su, Yang Ren, Xiao-Qing Yang, Howard Wang, Oleg Borodin, Chunsheng Wang
Solvent-in-salt electrolytes have revolutionized both aqueous and non-aqueous batteries by extending the electrochemical stability window 1,2,3 and enabling new battery chemisties 4-6. However, the presence of both anions and solvent in the cation

Electrostatic Repulsion Slows Relaxations of Polyelectrolytes in Semidilute Solutions

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Ali Slim, Winnie Shi, Farshad S. Samghabadi, Antonio Faraone, Amanda Marciel, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Jacinta Conrad
We investigate the structure and dynamics of unentangled semidilute solutions of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy. The effects of electrostatic interactions and chain

Changwoo Do, Rana Ashkar, Cristina Boone, Wei-Ren Chen, Georg Ehlers, Peter Falus, Antonio Faraone, Jason Gardner, Van Graves, Thomas Huegle, Reika Katsumata, Darian Kent, Jiao Lin, Bill Mchargue, Bradley D. Olsen, Yangyang Wang, Danielle Wilson, Y. Z.
EXPANSE, an EXPanded Angle Neutron Spin Echo instrument, has been proposed and selected as one of the first suite of instruments to be built at the Second Target Station of the Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This instrument

Q-Dependent Collective Relaxation Dynamics of Glass-Forming Liquid Ca 0.4 K 0.6 (NO 3 ) 1.4 Investigated by Wide-Angle Neutron Spin-Echo

April 19, 2022
Author(s)
Peng Luo, Yanqin Zhai, Peter Falus, Victoria Garcia Sakai, Monika Hartl, Maiko Kofu, Kenji Nakajima, Antonio Faraone, Y. Z
Employing high-intensity wide-angle neutron spin-echo spectroscopy, we measured the coherent intermediate scattering function of the prototypical ionic glass former Ca 0.4K 0.6(NO 3) 1.4 in the equilibrium and supercooled liquid state from 383 to 519 K

Yanqin Zhai, Peng Luo, Jackson Waller, Jeffrey L. Self, Leland Harriger, Y. Z., Antonio Faraone
The dynamics of molecular associates in methanol/water mixtures was investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. By measuring the signal from four methanol/water samples differing only by their isotopic composition, the relative motion of the water
