Abstract
High resolution depolarized Rayleigh spectra of nitrobenzene in CCl4 have been measured at several concentrations and temperatures. All spectra display a shear wave dip at the zero frequency. They are found to fit well to the form of a two-variable theory in the low frequency regions studied. The various parameters such as the collective molecular reorientation rate Γ, the shear wave relaxation rate q2νs, and the dynamic coupling coefficient R are obtained as a function of temperature and concentration. While the R value is found to be independent of temperature, it changes significantly with the nitrobenzene concentration. Moreover, the R value for pure nitrobenzene is found to be greater than 0.5, higher than any reported previously for a low viscosity liquid. The τRay values are found to follow the classical Stokes–Einstein relation, with zero intercept. The pair orientational correlation affects the Rayleigh relaxation time.
