Abstract

We present data on the dielectric response of

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

for

x = 0.25, 0.5, and 0.7

. Interpreting the data using a theory for the glassy dynamics of this system, we calculate a low-temperature specific heat. This calculated specific heat has the same magnitude, time dependence, and composition dependence as seen in experiments.
