Notes:
Measurements of Brillouin scattering spectra from liquid and glassy (300–600 °C, 25–130 °C) ZnCl2 are reported. High resolution Fabry–Perot spectroscopy has been used, and temperature as well as momentum transfer have been varied so as to go completely across the condition (Brillouin frequency)⋅(characteristic relaxation time)=1, where very non-Lorentzian spectral shapes are observed. They are fully described by viscoelastic theory, i.e., a Mori-form including fourth moment, two sound velocities, and relaxation times. Connection with current ideas on glass-forming liquids is made.
