Bulk samples of methane hydrate at cryogenic temperatures have been shown to contain methane in the hydrate cage that is nearly in a state of free rotation. There is an interest in knowing if confinement of the hydrate in small pores modifies this rotational behaviour. It is proposed to make QENS measurements at ~5 K, ~50 Bar on methane hydrate samples in different pore diameter silicas (6, 10, 20, 50 nm diameter) to see if there is a dependence on confining geometry. Recent NMR relaxation measurements on confined methane hydrate have shown changes in the cage dynamics near the disassociation temperature. Thus spin-echo QENS measurements will also be made at a few temperatures near ~270K and ~50 Bar at longer timescales using OFFSPEC, to quantify these changes. Spin-echo SANS measurements will also be made to see if clumping / nodule formation is detectable.
