Abstract
Rotations of the molecules about their long axis constitute an important part in the complex pattern of internal motions in the rhombohedral phase of perfluoro-n-eicosane (C20F42). Dynamical studies were performed by quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Spectra were determined in a range of strong diffuse scattering. They show a superposition of librations (deltaE congruent-to 1-2 meV) and rotational diffusion (deltaE congruent-to 10-100 mueV). Reorientation rates exhibit a slowing down on approaching the transition to the low temperature phase (T(c) = 200 K). As indicated by this slowing down, by the nonexponential relaxation function, and also an intensity enhancement at the Bragg-positions, rotations occur correlated between neighboring molecules. The state of motion can be simulated by molecular dynamics calculations performed for a two-dimensional lattice of coupled rotators.
