Article Abstract
The reorientational relaxation times of some small aromatic solutes are determined with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements in various solvents that exhibit viscoelasticity in the megahertz region. All the reorientational relaxation times in viscoelastic liquids are shorter than those predicted by the hydrodynamic Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relation using the steady-state shear viscosity. The deviation from the SED relation becomes larger in solvents whose shear relaxation is slower. When the reorientational relaxation times in a solvent are compared, the deviation from the SED relation tends to decrease when the reorientational relaxation time increases. From a comparison with the shear relaxation spectra, it is demonstrated that the deviation from the SED relation can be ascribed to the effective reduction of the viscous friction on fast reorientation, reflecting the decrease in shear viscosity with increasing frequency.

Albumin and γ-globulin concentrations in an electrolyte solution have been quantified by a multivariate-regressive Gaussian admittance relaxation times distribution (mgARTD). The mgARTD is built based on the training data consisting of the impedance spectroscopy system measurement result of protein mixture solutions with a known concentration of albumin, γ-globulin, and sodium electrolyte to perform concentration quantification on a prospective protein mixture solution with an unknown concentration. The mgARTD consists of three steps: (1) Prediction step of the peak matrix by Gaussian ARTD (gARTD) with the Gaussian process and peak detection algorithm, (2) Training step of the approximated coefficient matrix ̃ based on the multivariate-regressive formula = + (: multivariate-regression coefficient matrix, : error matrix, and : known concentration matrix of the training data set), and (3) Quantification step of the approximated concentration ̃ based on the Gauss-Newton algorithm from the predicted of the quantification data and the approximated ̃.

Single-phase dysprosium orthoferrite (DyFeO: DFO) nanoparticles have been synthesized using the nanoagitator bead mill. Rietveld refinement of the experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the orthorhombic crystal symmetry ( space group) of the material. The surface morphology, grain size distribution, and color mapping were analyzed.

Molecular simulations provide an effective route for investigating morphology evolution and the structure-property relationship in polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNCs) incorporating layered silicates like montmorillonite (MMT), an important class of materials that show a significant enhancement over the constituent polymer for several properties. However, long relaxation times and large system size requirements limit their application to systems of practical interest. In this work, we developed a coarse-grained (CG) model of organically modified MMT (oMMT) compatible with the MARTINI force field, a chemically specific interaction model with high transferability.

Using broadband impedance spectroscopy and conductometry, we study the phase behavior and the reorientational and translational dynamics of cycloalcohols doped with 1 to 20 mol% of Li salt. At low salt concentrations, a plastically crystalline state is stable. In this regime, the dielectric spectra of the cycloalcohols reveal two relaxation processes.

Trehalose, in the presence of water, exhibits the strongest bioprotective effects among disaccharides across a wide temperature range. To elucidate the molecular origin of trehalose's superiority, it is important to compare the hydration state of different disaccharides under dilute conditions, which selectively reflects the interactions between water and single solute molecules without interferences from other disaccharide molecules, in terms of the following hydration properties: hydration number, reorientational cooperativity, and reorientational relaxation time. Specifically, the solute dependence of those hydration properties at different concentrations and different temperatures is worth investigating although such comprehensive understandings are yet to be achieved.
