Quantum Rotational Dynamics of CH3I Group D Y Liu, S Jonas, V Atakan, H Wu, S Omar-Diallo, I-K. Jeong D. Phelan
System description V3 Methyl Iodide Three fold potential model
Experimental Goals • What we are looking for: • The “height”of the V3 well • The librational energy • The projected radius of Hydrogen from Carbon
Why HFBS and FANS? • The tunneling energy is quite small • Tunneling process have energies on order of ~ meV • The HFBS has high resolution. ~1 meV, well below the conventional triple-axis and neutron TOF spectrometers. • The FANS has high energy transfer (~100meV)
How HFBS works • The HFBS varies incident energy by using a cam-based Doppler-driven monochromator. • Phase Space Transformer increase flux 4x. Very large analyzer array, 20% of 4p. • The scattering chamber is operated under vacuum • instead of Ar or He improving the signal-to-background ratio.
Inelastic Scattering (T = 8K) Tunneling Energy: ~2.3meV V3 ~ 42meV
Quasielastic Analysis (T = 38K) Elastic and Quasielastic Peak EISF Fitting Jump Diffusion Model: • Rexp =1.03A • Rcal =1.027A
Librational Energy Study by FANS 1st libration energy: ~14meV
