Determination of the structure of wood from the self-diffusion probability densities of a fluid observed by position-exchange NMR spectroscopy
Literature Information
Ville-Veikko Telkki, Jukka Jokisaari
Self-diffusion of a fluid absorbed in a solid matrix is restricted by the walls of the matrix. We demonstrate that the local self-diffusion probability densities (propagators) of fluid molecules can be measured by position-exchange nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (POXSY), and analysis of the shape of the propagators reveals the local size-distributions of the voids in the matrix. We also show that, in the case of rectangular voids, size-distribution can be calculated in a long diffusion-time limit without any assumptions about the shape of the distribution. Pinus sylvestrispine wood was used as a sample material in the experiments, and the results show that this method gives detailed information about the structure of wood.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
