X Abstract

The rotational dynamics of nearly spherical and cylindrical tracers dissolved in supercooled o-terphenyl is studied via the Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy. On decreasing the temperature, a sharp crossover is observed from the regime where the Debye-Stokes-Einstein law (DSE) holds to a new one which is accounted for by a fractional DSE (FDSE) Dr propto (η/T)-ξ with ξ ≤ 1. Dr is the rotational diffusion constant, η the shear viscosity and T the temperature. Tumbling and spinning of the cylindrical tracer exhibit distinct crossovers. A simple model of FDSE based on the presence of dynamic heterogeneities is presented.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
