【 摘 要 】
The relaxational dynamics of the ambient pressure phases of ethyl alcohol are studied by means of measurements-of frequency dependent dielectric susceptibility. A comparison of the cu relaxation in the supercooled liquid and in the rotator phase crystal indicates that the molecular rotational degrees of freedom are the dominant contribution to structural relaxation at temperatures near the glass transition, the flow processes having lesser importance. Below the glass transition a secondary beta relaxation is resolved for the orientational and structural glasses. Computer molecular-dynamics results suggest that localized molecular librations, strongly coupled to the low-frequency internal molecular motions, are responsible for this secondary relaxation.
