Abstract
Nuclear resonance time domain interferometry (NR-TDI) is used to study the slow dynamics of liquids (that do not require Mössbauer isotopes) at atomic and molecular length scales. Here the TDI method of using a stationary two-line magnetized 57Fe foil as a source and a stationary single-line stainless steel foil analyzer is employed. The new technique of adding an annular slit in front of a single silicon avalanche photodiode detector enables a wide range of momentum transfers (1 to 100 nm-1 by varying the distance between the annular slits and sample) with a high count rate of up to 160 Hz with a Δq resolution of ±1.7 nm-1 at q = 14 nm-1. The sensitivity of this method in determining relaxation times is quantified and discussed. The Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) model was used to extract relaxation times for glycerol. These relaxation times give insight into the dynamics of the electron density fluctuations of glycerol as a function of temperature and momentum transfers.
