Abstract
The Brillouin scattering experiment has been carried out for molten ZnCl2-KCl binary melts over the composition range 0–45 mol% KCl. The complete profiles of Rayleigh-Brillouin spectra were obtained at scattering angle of 90°, and at temperatures ranging from 550 to 1000 K by the use of carefully purified samples. Marked change in the shape of the spectrum with variations in temperature and composition has been observed and has been concluded to be due to structural relaxation in the melts. A dispersion of sound wave propagation was observed in the melts in the hypersonic region. The spectra have been analyzed based on the viscoelastic theory on the assumption of single relaxation. The sound velocities at the limiting low and high frequencies and the relaxation time have been determined.
