Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer λ-rays in a silicon rubber

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The Rayleigh scattering of57Fe 14.4 keV Mössbauer radiation has been measured for a silicon copolymer with rubbery properties. Elastic- and inelastic-scattering intensities have been measured as functions of the scattering vector and temperature. From these data a glass transition temperature has been determined (T G=240 K). AboveT G the mean atomic displacement rapidly increases due to the onset of conformational motions. Diffusive motions have not been observed. The transition to the crystalline state has been detected atT=208 K.

Riassunto

È stato misurato lo scattering Rayleigh di raggi λ Mössbauer di 14.4 keV del57Fe in un copolimero siliconico con proprietà gommose. Le intensità di scattering elastico ed anelastico sono state misurate in funzione del vettore di scattering e della temperatura. Da questi dati è stata dedotta la temperatura di transizione vetrosa (T G=140 K). Al di sopra diT G lo spostamento atomico medio aumenta rapidamente a causa dell'attivazione di moti conformazionali. Non si sono osservati moti diffusivi. Una transizione allo stato cristallino è stata osservata aT=208 K.

Резме

Измеряется рэлеевское расселние Мёссбауэровского излученил57Fe с знергией 14.4 МзВ на кремниевом сополимере со свойствами резинЫ. Как функция вектора рассеяния и температуры иемеряются интенсивности упругого и неупругого рассеяния. Из полученных определяется температура стеклянного перехода (Т Г=240 К). ВышеТ Г среднее смещение атомов быстро увеличивается из-за возникновения конформационных движений. Дффузионные движения не наблюдались. Переход в кристаллческое состояние происходит при температуреТ=208 К.
