abstract = {We present incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering
measurements in a wave vector transfer range from 0.4
Å(-1) to 1.6Å (-1) on liquid n-hexane confined in
cylindrical, parallel-aligned nanochannels of 6 nm mean
diameter and 260 μm length in monolithic, mesoporous
silicon. They are complemented with, and compared to,
measurements on the bulk system in a temperature range from
50 K to 250 K. The time-of-flight spectra of the bulk liquid
(BL) can be modeled by microscopic translational as well as
fast localized rotational, thermally excited, stochastic
motions of the molecules. In the nano-confined state of the
liquid, which was prepared by vapor condensation, we find
two molecular populations with distinct dynamics, a fraction
which is immobile on the time scale of 1 ps to 100 ps probed
in our experiments and a second component with a
self-diffusion dynamics slightly slower than observed for
the bulk liquid. No hints of an anisotropy of the
translational diffusion with regard to the orientation of
the channels' long axes have been found. The immobile
fraction amounts to about $5\%$ at 250 K, gradually
increases upon cooling and exhibits an abrupt increase at
160 K (20 K below bulk crystallization), which indicates
pore freezing.},
