摘要: We present a neutron scattering study on methyl group dynamics in glassy toluene. The spectra the whole temperature range, covering transition from quantum rotational tunneling to classical hopping, have been successfully analyzed terms of potential barrier distribution model. average glass is found be notably higher than unique crystalline β-phase, whose short-range structure known similar that glass. Due mainly intermolecular origin interactions groups toluene, it concluded potentials are strongly affected by structural disorder.
