Vibrational circular dichroism signal enhancement using self-heterodyning with elliptically polarized laser pulses
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra were recorded using elliptically polarized ultrashort laser pulses, produced with the help of a photoelastic modulator. The short polarization axis of the ...

Relaxation of Voronoi shells in hydrated molecular ionic liquids
The relaxation of solvation shells is studied following a twofold strategy based on a direct analysis of simulated data as well as on a solution of a Markovian master equation. In both cases solvation...

We investigated through noncommercial calorimetry and elastoacoustic Brillouin experiments the phase diagram of n-butanol and measured the specific heat and the thermal conductivity in a wide low-temperature range for its three different states, namely, glass, crystal, and the so-called “glacial” states. The main aim of the work was to shed light on the controversial issue of these allegedly polyamorphic transitions found in some molecular glass-forming liquids, first reported to occur in triphenyl phosphite and later in n-butanol. Our experimental results show that the obtained glacial state in n-butanol is not a homogenous, amorphous state, but rather a mixture of two different coexisting phases, very likely the (frustrated) crystal phase embedded in a disordered, glassy phase. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
