Particle Dynamics in a Diblock-Copolymer-Based Dodecagonal Quasicrystal and Its Periodic Approximant by X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy

Temperature-dependent X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) measurements are reported for a binary diblock copolymer blend that self-assembles into an aperiodic dodecagonal quasicrystal (DDQC) and a periodic Frank-Kasper σ phase approximant. The measured structural relaxation times are Bragg scattering wavevector-independent and are five times faster in the DDQC than the σ phase, with minimal temperature dependence. The underlying dynamical relaxations are ascribed to differences in particle motion at the grain boundaries within each of these tetrahedrally close-packed assemblies. These results identify unprecedented particle dynamics measurements of tetrahedrally-coordinated micellar block polymers, thus expanding the application of XPCS to ordered soft materials.
