Local dynamics of phospholipids are effected by various parameters as temperature, pressure, hydration or additives. In recent years neutron scattering has probed this dynamics at various time and length scales in the nano- to picosecond time range. We will show the influence of small molecules as short chain alcohols and cholesterol on the phospholipid local dynamics as probed by elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. By these methods local diffusion coefficients and motions are derived as well as thermodynamic parameters.
