Abstract
Activation energy of phospholipids in aqueous solution was obtained by terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy. The THz absorption as a function of temperature, an Arrhenius plot, yields activation energy of water relaxation process. Head group structure and phase dependence of the activation energy is reported. © 2013 IEEE.
