摘要: We have applied nuclear inelastic absorption (NIA) to the molecular glass former dibutylphthalate/ferrocene, both in bulk and nanoporous matrices having pore sizes of 50 25 A, respectively. The quantity g(E)/E 2, where g(E) is vibrational phonon density states (VDOS) resonant nuclei, exhibits a pronounced maximum at low energies. Confinement pores leads suppression VDOS below 1.5 meV, independent size. Also scaled heat capacity C(T)/T 3, we observe decrease peak for temperatures. Our observations are discussed light experimental theoretical results on nanocrystals recent model boson peak.
