description

Abstract The β-relaxation amplitudes h m l , l ′ ( q ) for a dipolar hard sphere model are calculated in the diagonalization approximation up to l =1. The relevance to experimental difficulties to detect the characteristic β-relaxation minimum in dielectric loss measurements is discussed. Additionally, the microscopic nature of the β-relaxation of the rotational components is investigated by discussing the amplitudes in real space at different temperatures and densities.
