Friction and adhesion between C60 single crystal surfaces and AFM tips: effects of the orientational phase transition

We have investigated the nanotribological properties of C60 single crystal (111) and (100) surfaces around its orientational order-disorder phase transition temperature, approximately 260 K, by atomic force microscopy and frictional force microscopy (AFM/FFM) in high vacuum. Results show that for both surfaces across the phase transition temperature, the friction force and the adhesive force between a C60 coated AFM tip and the C60 crystal surfaces exhibit discontinuous behavior. The friction force within the applied external load range in the low temperature phase is significantly larger than that in the high temperature phase, with no obvious change in the slope of the friction force curves (the friction coefficient) in the low and high temperature phases. The abrupt change in friction was found to be caused mainly by the abrupt change in adhesion, which, in turn, can be qualitatively understood through changes in the van der Waals interaction and the short-range Coulomb interaction associated with the structural changes across the phase transition. Compared to most other degrees of freedom, the rotation of C60 molecules was found to have little effect on friction and is an ineffective energy dissipation channel.     

Free energy of the solid C60 fullerene orientational order-disorder transition

The free energies of the orientationally ordered crystal phase of C60 at low temperatures and the disordered crystal phase at high temperatures are calculated to an accuracy of +/-0.05 kJ/mol using the expanded ensemble Monte Carlo method with the potential model of Sprik et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 96, 2027 (1992)]. The order-disorder transition temperature at zero pressure is determined directly from these free energies, and is found to be consistent with the abrupt changes in configurational energy and unit cell size also found in simulation. A modification of the potential results in predictions of the transition temperature of 257 K and the entropy change of 18.1 J/mol K at this transition, which are in good agreement with the experimental values of 260 K and 19 J/mol K, respectively. The orientational distinguishability in the ordered phase and the indistinguishability in the disordered phase lead to a contribution to the entropy difference of k ln 60, with 60 being the symmetry number of C60. This quantum mechanical correction is important for the accurate prediction of the phase transition properties of the C60 crystals.     

Electrooptical properties of mesogenic chain molecules in solution and in nematic state

Electrooptical characteristics of mesogenic chain molecules in solution and in mesophase can be described in terms of intra- and intermolecular orientational orders. The value and sign of electric birefringence δn in a solution of kinetically rigid chain molecules are determined by the combination of two factors: intramolecular orientational order which depends on the dipolar and anisotropic architecture of the molecule and intermolecular orientational order caused by the action of the external electric field E. The value and sign of the dielectric anisotropy δε of the polymer nematic phase are also determined by the combination of intra- and intermolecular orders. However, in this case the latter is not maintained by the external field but by the nematic potential of the mesophase. Therefore, comparative investigations of electrooptical properties of polymers in solutions and in nematic melts make it possible to obtain information about the intra- and intermolecular orientational orders of the molecules under investigation in these two states. These investigations were carried out using the method of electric birefringence in solutions and the method of orientational deformations of nematic textures in an electric field. The objects being investigated were nematogenic dimers and trimers. Experimental data obtained for these compounds showed the presence of intramolecular order in their molecules, which is manifested in the odd-even oscillations of the value and sign of Kerr constant K≈δn/E² in solution and δε in the nematic phase when the number of C-C bonds in the methylene spacers of these molecules is varied. This effect is particularly dramatic in the mesophase where it is enhanced by intermolecular nematic potential.

Quasi‐classical fluctuation–dissipation description of dielectric loss in oxides with implications for quantum information processing

One of the most important problems in developing devices for quantum computation is the coupling and dissipation of states by thermal noise. We present a study of a two‐state electric dipole in a crystal coupling to noise from a reservoir. As a realization of such an energy‐dissipating dipole, we report and analyze dielectric loss measurements in single crystal and polycrystalline Al₂O₃ over the temperature range 70–300 K. We are able to model the dielectric loss in terms of a quasi‐classical model that uses the fluctuation–dissipation theorem. Two key parameters in this model are the crystal oscillator energy and reservoir–lattice coupling constant. In polycrystalline samples, it is assumed that the main effect of structural disorder is a modification of the spectrum of the thermal phonons, so that acoustical vibrations acquire some optical mode character. The temperature dependence of the linewidth of the high dielectric strength infrared (IR) mode at 438 cm^?1 and the quasi‐degenerate Raman mode of the k = 0 (418 cm^?1) transition are also investigated and are shown to be related simply to the dielectric loss. The model reproduces the unusual temperature dependence of the dielectric loss observed experimentally. The implications for the coupling of quantum mechanical objects to noise and quantum information processing are discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006     

Orientational ordering of pyridinium ion in its tetrabromoaurate(III) salt

Heat capacity and dielectric measurements of crystalline pyridinium tetrabromoaurate(III), (pyH)AuBr₄, were carried out in the temperature ranges of 13 to 300 K and 30 to 160 K, respectively. A phase transition, due to the orientational ordering of pyridinium ions, was found at 99.9 K. A glass transition, due to freezing-in of the reorientational motion of pyridinium ions, was found at around 60 K. An anomaly showing the intermediate situation between Schottky effect and phase transition was found with the heat-capacity peak at around 260 K. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Experimental characterization of hexatic smectic phases through electro-optic studies and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy

The electro-optic and complex dielectric behaviour of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl)phenyl 4'-(n-butanoyloxyprop-1-oxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylate, having chiral SmC_A* and hexatic smectic phases, have been investigated. Complex dielectric permittivities were measured as a function of frequency, d.c. bias field and temperature. Spontaneous polarization was measured by the current reversal technique; tilt angle was measured under a polarizing microscope using a low frequency electric field. The electro-optic properties and dielectric behaviour of the material are compared with results obtained by DSC and polarizing optical microscopy. Dielectric relaxation processes in SmC_A* and hexatic smectic phases were determined. The dielectric strength at the SmC_A* to hexatic smectic phase transition is discussed in terms of coupling between the long range bond orientational order and smectic C director. It seems from the results of spontaneous polarization and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy that the material might possess an additional phase between the SmC_A* and hexatic smectic I* phases.     

Hydrogen bonded structure and dynamics of liquid-vapor interface of water-ammonia mixture: an ab initio molecular dynamics study

We have carried out ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of a liquid-vapor interfacial system consisting of a mixture of water and ammonia molecules. We have made a detailed analysis of the structural and dynamical properties of the bulk and interfacial regions of the mixture. Among structural properties, we have looked at the inhomogeneous density profiles of water and ammonia molecules, hydrogen bond distributions, orientational profiles, and also vibrational frequency distributions of bulk and interfacial molecules. It is found that the interfacial molecules show preference for specific orientations so as to form water-ammonia hydrogen bonds at the interface with ammonia as the acceptor. The structure of the system is also investigated in terms of inter-atomic voids present in the system. Among the dynamical properties, we have calculated the diffusion, orientational relaxation, hydrogen bond dynamics, and vibrational spectral diffusion in bulk and interfacial regions. It is found that the diffusion and orientation relaxation of the interfacial molecules are faster than those of the bulk. However, the hydrogen bond lifetimes are longer at the interface which can be correlated with the time scales found from the decay of frequency time correlations.     

Study on the intermolecular interaction of C60 and simulations on the orientational properties of C60 in crystals

We developed the new intermolecular interaction model of C(60) with the quantitative accuracy for the molecular orientational properties in crystals. The energy difference (DeltaE) and the activation barrier (E(barrier)) between the two stable orientations (P and H orientations) in crystals are in the values of +14.7 and +260 meV in our model, respectively; these values are in fairly good agreement with the experimental values (DeltaE approximately +11 meV, E(barrier)=+235-+290 meV in experiments). The relaxation calculation for C(60) crystals using our model revealed that there is the reversal of the stable orientations between the P and H orientations under the high H-orientation occupancy (p(H)) in crystals, when p(H)>0.83, DeltaE<0. From the molecular dynamics calculations for C(60) crystals using our model, it is found that the phase transition is induced at T(C)=200-260 K, which is consistent with the experimental value of 260 K. Immediately below T(C), we found a great variety of molecular rotational jumps involving that between the P and H orientations every about 10(-9) s due to the thermal activation. In the high temperature phase (>T(C)), all molecules rotate irregularly like in Brownian motion involving the rotational "slumber" for approximately 10(-12)-10(-11) s.
