Microscopic collective dynamics in liquidparaH2

Abstract: Well-defined phonons with strong anomalous ͑upward͒ dispersion are observed by inelastic neutron scattering in liquid para-H 2 at a temperature of 15.7 K. The damping, being very small for the low-Q phonons, increases with wave vector Q, and only broad features are observed for Qտ1 Å Ϫ1 . This behavior is shown to deviate strongly from results of molecular simulations of a fully classical analogue using a realistic potential.

“…The sample was obtained from high-purity hydrogen gas transformed to para-H 2 by forcing it to pass through an activated catalyst, in a similar procedure as described in a previous paper. 7 The sample holder was an aluminum cylinder, 7 mm in diameter and 30 mm high. A vanadium cylinder 10 mm in diameter and 50 mm in height was employed to calibrate the absolute scale.…”

“…Although it is known that liquid para-hydrogen may be treated as a Boltzmann particle near its triple point (23), it still exhibits some of the hallmarks of a highly quantum liquid. In fact, recent neutron scattering experiments of Bermejo et al (24) have uncovered the existence of collective excitations that are absent in the classical fluid. These quantum excitations are a precursor of some of the collective modes that exist in the superfluid state.…”

“…The latter is found to be ubiquitous in molten metallic alloys 29 or in pure metals 30 and is known to be crucial to enable the decay of phonon excitations. 31 An estimate of the generalized high-frequency elastic constant C 11 (Q) may be obtained from the relationship 32…”
