AbstractIt is well known that the liquid dynamics slows down on approaching the liquid-gas critical point or the liquid-glass transition. Recently we have found by the sound attenuation measurements that the metal-nonmetal (M-NM) transition also induces slow dynamics. In the M-NM transition range of expanded liquid Hg, we have observed anomalous increase in the sound attenuation due to the structural relaxation process. Assuming a simple Debye-type relaxation, we have estimated that the relaxation time should be of the order of nanoseconds and revealed that the relaxation strength has a broad maximum in the M-NM transition range. Moreover, two types of anomalies have been observed also in the semiconductor-metal (S-M) transition range of liquid Te-Se mixtures. We present the recent experimental results of the sound attenuation measurements and discuss briefly the mechanisms of the slow dynamics in the metal-nonmetal transition range of liquids.

Abstract Anelastic strains exceeding elastic strains up to a factor of 30 have been observed close to the critical point of H in Nb. The temperature dependence of the relaxation strength follows a Curie-Weiß law for temperatures (T - Tc)/Tc ≥ 6-10-3.

In an attempt to outline roughly the "normal” dielectric relaxation behaviour of polar liquids as a reference for the investigation of more complex (e.g. associating) systems, some theoretical considerations and experimental results (mainly on two component mixtures) are presented. They show that for a distinct spectral component a simple equation can be used which approximately relates the relaxation strength to the moment of the relaxing moiety. The rotational relaxation time is practically not affected by the static permittivity but is correlated to the molecular size and the macroscopic viscosity, thus allowing for conclusions on the effective radius of the tumbling moieties.

The features of grain boundary relaxation of a (wt.%)Fe-25Cr-5Al alloy have been investigated using a multifunction internal friction apparatus. The grain boundary relaxation peak appears at about 630oC on the internal friction-temperature curves for the alloy. The peak temperature shifts toward high temperature with increasing frequency. In terms of Arrihenius relation, the activation energy is calculated to be 4.07(±0.15)eV and the pre-exponential factor is 6.2×10-24±1s. Grain boundary relaxation strength remarkably decreases with increasing grain size. When grain size reaches 520μm, the grain boundary relaxation peak almost disappears.
