X Abstract

X-ray photon-correlation spectroscopy is used to measure the dynamic structure factor f(q,) of gold particles moving on the surface of thin polymer films. Above the glass transition of the polymer the peculiar form f(q,)~exp[-()] is found with 0.7<<1.5, depending on sample age and temperature. The relaxation rates scale linearly with q, excluding a simple Brownian diffusive motion. This type of behavior, already observed in aging bulk soft matter systems, is explained by a power law distribution of particle velocities due to ballistic motion.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
