Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements on trlhalose/H2O and s
ucrose/H2O mixtures have been carried out using the spectrometer MIBEMOL at
the Laboratoire Leon Brillouin (LLB, Saclay). Thr study, addressed to the
comparison of the vibrational properties of the two homologous disaccharide
water mixtures across the glass transition, allows to characterize the dif
ferent rigidity of both the disaccharide/H2O mixtures. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sc
