Abstract
Wide band dielectric spectroscopy has been used to study the bulk dynamics of the simple supercooled liquid m-toluidine. Following the temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric response we find a stretched relaxa tion process, the stretching parameter of which is temperature dependent. T he observed decoupling between rotational and translational diffusion param eters at low temperatures may be the result of heterogeneous dynamics. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
