TLDR
A minimum is observed in the dielectric loss in the crossover regime from the structural relaxation to the far-infrared response which is compared to theoretical concepts that predict fast relaxational processes.
Abstract
Dielectric spectroscopy up to 370 GHz has been performed on supercooled glycerol for temperatures between 250 and 330 K. The high-frequency dielectric loss, ${\ensuremath{\varepsilon}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{'}}$, has been investigated by coherent-source submillimeter-wave spectroscopy. Special attention is given to the dielectric loss in the crossover regime from the structural relaxation to the far-infrared response. A minimum is observed in ${\ensuremath{\varepsilon}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{'}}(\ensuremath{\nu})$ which is compared to theoretical concepts that predict fast relaxational processes.

Recent tests of the mode-coupling theory for glassy dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of recent tests of the mode-coupling theory for the evolution of structural relaxation in glass-forming liquids is given, focusing on comparisons between the leading-order asymptotic formulae derived for the dynamics near glass transition singularities and the results of neutron scattering, depolarized light scattering, impulsive stimulated light scattering and dielectric-loss spectroscopy for conventional liquids.

The dielectric response of simple organic glass formers

TL;DR: In this article, the complex dielectric permittivity e ν above and below the glass transition temperature, T g, was investigated in the frequency range 10 −3 ÂHz 9 Â Hz and a quantitative line-shape analysis was carried out including both processes by applying the Williams-Watts (WW) approach.

Relation between some secondary relaxations and the α relaxations in glass-forming materials according to the coupling model

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that secondary or β relaxations in glass-forming materials involve molecular motions that bear strong resemblance to the primitive α relaxations of the coupling model, although the two are not identical.
