STUDY OF LOW FREQUENCY MOLECULAR MOTIONS IN EXPLOSIVES BY SLOW NEUTRON INELASTIC SCATTERING
Abstract
The inelastic scattering of neutrons provides a means of studying explosives by which the nature of molecular motions can be determined and through which molecular dynamics can be correlated with macroscopic properties such as thermodynamic quantities. A tentative correlation was made between explosive sensitivity and internal energy for four explosives. The results show the importance of understanding the microscopic behavior in order to predict explosive characteristics.
