Hydrogen Bond Dynamics in Organic Ferroelectric Di-Chloromethylimidazole (DCMI) Using QENS

DOI

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and nontoxic materials have potential applications in energy storage, medical ultrasound imaging and in data storage in computers. The dynamics of protons are considered as the key mechanisms of the functionality of these materials. To build on our previous investigations on hydrogen bonded organic ferroelectrics, in this proposal I propose to investigate dynamics of di-chloromethylimidazole, a single component organic ferroelectric, using QENS. This material has shown anomalous dynamics at 100 K in an Xpress run on OSIRIS. This anomalous dynamics will be probed to establish the correlation of proton dynamics and ferroelectricity to search for finger print motions of organic-ferroelectrics.
