Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this project is to elucidate molecular dynamics in a confined space having nano-meter scale by means of high intensity quasi elastic neutron scattering (QENS) with a high intensity neutron beam at J-PARC MLF. An in-situ gas injection system was developed for the QENS. It was succeeded to perform in-situ QENS experiment of Nafion membrane under controlling the adsorption condition by the in-situ gas injection system. Experiments for meso-porous silicate having different surface properties will be performed in the near future.
