Abstract

The motional correlation time, τc, in liquid Se and Se-rich Se-Te alloys has been investigated between 500 and 900°C using time differential perturbed angular correlations of y-rays from dilute 111Cd impurities. In all alloys we find τc ∝ exp (E0/kT) at low T where E0 = 0.36 eV. τC deviates from this relation at high T. At low T, τCis tentatively identified as the lifetime of a Cd to host molecule bond, and at high T as the average lifetime of bonds in the host molecule.
