Abstract

Dielectric, ultrasonic, and neutron-scattering measurements in

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

are reported for concentrations

x

ranging from 0.01 to 0.5. The dipolar and the quadrupolar susceptibilities exhibit frequency- and concentration-dependent cusps showing that the freezing process into an orientational glass state is a relaxational phenomenon.
