Hypersonic attenuation in the n-alkanes

Abstract
The Brillouin spectra of n‐dodecane, n‐hexadecane, n‐docosane, n‐octacosane, and n‐hexatriacontane are studied as a function of temperature. The Brillouin linewidths increase monotonically as the liquids are cooled toward the freezing point. The results are analyzed quantitatively in terms of frequency‐dependent volume and shear viscosities.
