Abstract

Dipolar and quadrupolar susceptibility measurements are reported for the molecular glass system

{(KBr)}_{1 - x} {(KCN)}_{x}

covering a wide range of frequencies. The results allow a direct comparison of the dipolar and quadrupolar anomalies and demonstrate unambiguously that the freezing in of the dipolar and quadrupolar degrees of freedom occurs at different temperatures.
