Abstract
A simple stochastic model is used to show that the time autocorrelation function which determines dynamic susceptibility is generally nonexponential. The nonexponential character is caused by environmental fluctuations which arise in ordinary Brownian motion. Some computations of dynamic susceptibility are presented which indicate the kind of experimental results anticipated for substances which conform to this model.Keywords
