Proton coherence in polymer fuel cell electrolytes
Recent studies of short side chain(SSC) polymers used in fuel cells have shown that they have higher conductivity and better structural properties than Nafion, the commercially... -
Tunneling effect of hydrogen and deuterium in alpha-Mn
DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our... -
Proton Zero Point Energy Effects on the Folding of Proteins
Earlier experiment at ISIS have shown that water responds to the distortion of the hydrogen bond network by delocalizing some of the protons in the vicinity of the defects. That... -
Deuteron Coherence in Carbon Nanotube Water
The protons in H2O confined in carbon nanotubes have been shown to delocalize coherently at low temperatures, exhibiting a rich phenomenology that is sensitive to the diameter... -
Proton momentum distribution in Phosphoric acid
Phosphoric acid, H3PO4, is a technically important material as the electrolyte in commercial fuel cells because of its high protonic conductivity. The mechanism for the... -
