Tempered relaxation with clustering patterns

Abstract

This work is motivated by the relaxation data for materials which exhibit a change of the relationship between the fractional power-law exponents when different relaxation peaks in their dielectric susceptibility are observed. Within the proposed framework we derive a frequency-domain relaxation function fitting the whole range of the two-power-law dielectric spectroscopy data with independent low- and high-frequency fractional exponents γ and -α, respectively. We show that this effect results from a contribution of different processes. For high frequencies it is determined by random stops and movement of relaxing components, and the low-frequency slope is caused by clustering in their temporal changes.
