Table 1.

Results of the least-square fitting of the data shown in Fig. 5, summarizing the diffusion coefficients of CO determined by PFG NMR at 15 bar and 25 °C for 3 different diffusion times t in the absence (Dbulk) and presence of npAu (D1, D2)

t [ms] Dbulk (10 −7) [m2/s] RMSD1 [µm] RMSD2 [µm] D1 (10 −7) [m2/s] D2 (10 −7) [m2/s] D2/D1
6 14 ± 1 149 ± 15 218 ± 15 7.0 ± 1.4 15 ± 2 2.1 ± 0.5
10 14 ± 1 201 ± 20 290 ± 20 7.2 ± 1.4 15 ± 2 2.1 ± 0.4
30 13 ± 1 430 ± 20 430 ± 20 10.5 ± 1 10.5 ± 1

In the presence of npAu and for diffusion times of 6 ms and 10 ms two gas ensembles can be distinguished between: one diffusing inside (subscript: 1) and one outside (subscript: 2) of npAu. In addition to the corresponding diffusion coefficients, the root mean square displacements (RMSD) are given. The last column shows the ratio D2/D1, corresponding to the tortuosity factor τ, according to Eq. 12
