Atomic dynamics of an Al0.62Cu0.255Fe0.125 icosahedral quasicrystal
The atomic dynamics of an Al0.62Cu0.255Fe0.125 icosahedral quasicrystal is investigated using inelastic neutron scattering (the isotopic contrast method). The partial vibrational spectra of copper, iron, and alum...

Low-frequency dynamical response of confined water in normal and supercooled regions obtained by IINS
We analyzed incoherent inelastic neutron scattering spectra of water confined in a nanoporous Gelsil matrix, with very small pore diameter (26 Å). The study is addressed to the evolution of the one-phonon ampl...

Atomic-partial vibrational density of states of i-AlCuFe quasicrystals
We present new results on the separation of the atomic-partial vibrational density of states for the ternary quasicrystal i-Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5. The decomposition into three atomic-partial functions, Al-, Cu- and Fe...

Slow Relaxation Process in DNA
A dynamic transition at temperatures ∼200–230K is observed in manyhydrated bio-polymers. It shows up as a sharp increase of the mean-squaredatomic displacements above this temperature range. We present neutron...

Very fast relaxation in polycarbonate glass
Relaxations in amorphous bis-phenol A polycarbonate are studied by neutron scattering, as a function of temperature below the glass transition. Two different processes are observed. One is very fast, with a ch...

Slow relaxation process in DNA at different levels of hydration
There are many speculations about the dynamic transition observed in hydrated bio-polymers at temperatures T ∼ 200 – 230 K being an important factor for enabling of their functions. The transition shows up as ...
