摘要
The methyl group rotational tunnelling in poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) has been analysed by means of neutron scattering covering a range of tunnelling frequencies from 0.5 mu eV to the free rotor line at 0.65 meV. The measured spectra show an apparently quasielastic broadening that has been interpreted in terms of a distribution of tunnelling frequencies. The results obtained in present experiments support those obtained previously from the analysis of the tunnelling spectrum in a smaller width window in combination with measurements in the classical hopping regime.
