Abstract
Dielectric spectroscopy up to 370 GHz has been performed on supercoole d glycerol for temperatures between 250 and 330 K. The high-frequency dielectric loss, epsilon '', has been investigated by coherent-source submillimeter-wave spectroscopy. Special attention is given to the die lectric loss in the crossover regime from the structural relaxation to the far-infrared response. A minimum is observed in epsilon ''(nu) wh ich is compared to theoretical concepts that predict fast relaxational processes.
