摘要
The dynamics of CH4 molecules enclosed in the two types of cavity of different volume in dodecasil 3C have been studied by means of incoherent neutron scattering at temperatures 2 K less-than-or-equal-to T less-than-or-equal-to 500 K. While the motion of the guest molecules in the large cavities gives rise to significant quasi-elastic scattering, it was impossible to resolve the movements within the smaller cavities. At T > 180 K, two quasi-elastic contributions were observed, belonging to the translational and rotational components of a free diffusive motion of a CH4 molecule within a restricted volume. Indications of a phase transition at T = 250 K were found. The analysis of the incoherent structure factor shows that the molecules become more localized with decreasing temperature. A broad distribution of excitation energies at T = 2 K indicates frozen-in disorder.
