    Notes: We have investigated particle diffusion through different obstacle geometries by computer simulations. The model structures used in this work — randomly placed point obstacles and cage-like structures — were chosen with the aim of represent a broad range of geometrical structures similar to gels and in order to be compared with our previous simulations of particle diffusion through polyacrylamide gels. The diffusion behavior was studied as a function of tracer size and obstacle concentration. The isomorphism between the diffusion of finite-sized tracers and the diffusion of point tracers in the presence of expanded obstacles was applied. Only hard-sphere interactions of the tracer with the immobile obstacles were considered and the theoretical description was made in terms of theory of the obstruction effect. In the case of randomly placed point obstacles an analytical expression for the dependence of the diffusion coefficient on tracer radius and obstacle concentration, applying the model of spherical cells, could be deduced. The same description was applied numerically to the other model systems. Up to moderatly high fractions of excluded volume this description was found to be successful. For very high fractions of excluded volume — higher concentrations or larger tracers — the validity of Fick's second equation for describing diffusion breaks down and anomalous diffusion was found. The anomalous diffusion exponent diverges as the tracer size becomes comparable to the size of the pores. Analysis of the trajectory of tracers in the cases where an anomalous diffusion takes place shows a Levy-flight-like characteristic. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have carried out simulations of particle diffusion through polyacrylamide gel networks. The model structures were built on a diamond lattice, in a simulation box with periodic boundary conditions. The method of structure generation consists of a random distribution of knots on the lattice and interconnection between randomly chosen pairs of knots. The structures generated by this procedure approximate the topology of real polymer gels. Parameters that control the distance between knots and the degree of stretching of the chain permit us to simulate a polyacrylamide system in which the concentration of species as well as the degree of crosslinking can be compared to realistic gels as prepared by the available experimental procedures. These structures were geometrically characterized by the analysis of the pore size distribution and excluded volume. The structures thus generated are used as model networks for Monte Carlo studies of the diffusion of hard spheres in the restricted geometry. Modeling the deviations from the normal diffusion behavior as a purely geometrical phenomenon, these simulations can give us insights into the factors which lead to anomalous diffusion in gel-like systems. In these simulations a sphere of variable radius is allowed to perform an off-lattice random walk through the space between the generated structures, which are assumed to be rigid. It will be shown that the study of the influence of tracer size on diffusion is complementary to the study of the influence of obstacle concentration on the diffusion of monodispersed particles. While the latter method can give us information about the fractal nature of the internetwork space the former method provides information about the fractal nature of the network and the connectivity of the internetwork space. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reorientational correlation times of liquid diphenyl methane and of diphenyl ether have been measured by depolarized light scattering as a function of temperature and pressure. The data yield activation energies and activation volumes. The viscosity dependence of the correlation times is well described by an extended Stokes–Einstein–Debye equation. The data indicate that the reorientational motion observed can to a good approximation be described in terms of a single-molecule motion. The two sets of data obtained from the two liquids are in many respects very similar. However, the more polar diphenyl ether displays larger values of the activation parameters.

    Notes: The time-correlation functions associated with the translational motions of the dipole—induced by permanent multipoles of an arbitrary order 1=1,2,3,...—in a dense fluid have been calculated analytically assuming the isotropic diffusion mechanism. The correlation functions obtained from this model have been compared with the available results of the molecular dynamics simulations in liquid N2 (T=75.5 K, ρ=0.814 g cm−3) and CS2(T=298 K, ρ=1.26 g cm−3) and appear to reflect the proper time scale of the relaxation process.

    Notes: Abstract Molecules with internal degrees of rotation are of particular interest to understand the behavior of synthetic or natural polymers. With the extremely rapid increase in floating point performance of modern computers we are able to calculate a subspace of the Born-Oppenheimer hypersphere for quite large molecules with ab initio methods. We choose 2-Phenylbutane as an elementary model for Polystyrene (PS), because it possesses two internal degrees of freedom, that are highly relevant for PS. These are the rotation of the benzene ring and the chain like motion of the ethylgroup.

    Notes: To extract the intrinsic molecular scattering from unwanted collision-induced contributions as much as possible we propose a simple useful method recording the depolarized Rayleigh spectra using a double grating monochromator and correcting the spectra for the high-frequency wings. For this purpose we tested the system polystyrene/CCl4 for which an asymptotic value of the optical anisotropy 〈γ2〉/x ≅ 30 Å6 with degree of polymerization x 〉 20 was found. The depolarized Rayleigh intensity of 2,4-diphenylpentane and anionically polymerized atactic polystyrene standards was also measured in dilute solutions in the θ-solvent bicyclohexyl (θ = 61°C). From the absolute depolarized Rayleigh ratio we obtained the configurational average optical anisotropy per number of monomer units, 〈γ2〉/x. We have chosen cumene as a model compound estimating that its optical anisotropy is similar to that of a quasi monomer unit. No significant temperature dependence of 〈γ2〉/x and of the static internal pair correlation in the temperature range from 25°C up to 80°C was found.
