Abstract

Power absorption coefficient has been measured for CH3Cl/CCl4 solutions as a function of concentration and temperature over the 0-THz frequency range. The refractive index has also been measured for frequencies up to 400 GHz. The spectroscopic results are well described by the confined rotator model and the temperature and concentration dependence of the derived parameters is typical of polar solutes in non-polar solvents. The most interesting feature of the experimental results is the existence of some excess absorption over that predicted by the model. This additional band is situated in the millimetre wavelength range and intensifies with increasing fraction of non-polar molecules. It is postulated that this additional absorption is due to induced dipoles generated by translational motion of molecules.
