Abstract
Rayleigh–Brillouin spectra of 3‐phenyl propanol are studied over the temperature range from −119.5° to 98.1 °C. The orientation relaxation time is obtained as a function of temperature. The depolarized spectra exhibit clear shear wave sidebands at temperatures below −29.5 °C. The polarized spectra give peaks due to the longitudinal acoustic wave whose frequency displays kinks at the glass transition temperature and at 37 °C (Tk). Tk is 55 °C above the melting temperature (−18 °C). The shear wave frequency decreases linearly with increasing temperature. The experimental results on the VH scattering spectra are analyzed according to viscoelastic theories based upon the Voigt and Maxwell models. Comparison of the theory with observed spectra shows that the Voigt model gives a better fit to the experimental data. Microscopic theory has also been developed to derive the Voigt and Maxwell models. Angular dependent studies are proposed to differentiate the various theories which give different predictions about ...
