Abstract

Light-scattering spectra of two glasses, Ca0.4K0.6(NO3)1.4 and silica are measured in the frequency range 1-10000 GHz, covering temperatures from 19 K to 310 K. The low-frequency wing of the fast-relaxation spectrum is found to show a power-law behavior with an exponent α proportional to temperature at values a<0.7. The data are qualitatively and quantitatively compared to different models on relaxations in glasses. It is shown that a model of thermally activated transitions in double-well potentials well describes the fast-relaxation spectra in both materials.
