Analysis and Comparison of Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) Spectra Model

摘要


The Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) experiment is a novel method to study confined water dynamics by measuring the neutron energy transfer ( E )and scattering vector (Q) after the neutron interacts with the sample target. By adopting a suitable theoretical model and performing nonlinear least-squares fitting analysis on the Quasi- Elastic Neutron scattering spectra, the relevant physical parameters describing the water dynamics can be obtained, and then the constrained water dynamics in the sample can be detected. There are many types of Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering spectra fitting analysis models, and the fitting effects of different models and the relevant physical parameters obtained to characterize water dynamic information are not the same. This paper uses the Jump-diffusion and Rotating-diffusion Model (JRM) and the revised Jump-diffusion and Rotating-diffusion Model (rJRM) to fit the QENS spectra of pure magnesium silicate (M-S-H) and pure calcium silicate (C-S-H) samples, respectively. The measurement temperatures of QENS spectra from M-S-H and C-S-H samples are 210K up to 280K and 230K up to 280K, respectively, the E ranges from -120 to 120μev and the Q value 0.3 Å^(-1)~1.9 Å^(-1). Different physical parameters describing the dynamic information of confined water can be obtained by using the two models for QENS spectra fitting analysis. Compared with the JRM model, the physical parameters obtained by using the rJRM model are more comprehensive, and it is suitable for all neutron energy transfer and scattering vector measurements. From the qualitative point of view, the QENS spectra fitting curve of rJRM model is more consistent with the original data points. From the quantitative point of view, the chi-square value fitted by the rJRM model is more consistent with the mathematical statistics law than the JRM model, and the time required for nonlinear fitting is shorter.
