摘要
By measuring the complex dielectric function over 15 decades of frequency, the temperature dependence of the mean relaxation time and of the dielectric strength is evaluated for six low-molecular-weight glass-forming liquids and one polymeric melt. For the rst time it could be shown that a universal correlation exists between both these quantities with a sharp defined crossover behaviour in the frequency range between 10(7) Hz and 10(8) Hz. So two dynamical different regions of the alpha -relaxation can be distinguished non-ambiguously.
