| For 4-cyano-3-fluoro-phenyl 4-butyl-benzoate, nematic glassformer at ambient pressure, dielectric relaxation studies were performed under elevated pressure. In the isobaric experiment, on cooling the nematic phase two superarrhenius α-relaxations, ascribed to the reorientations of molecules around short axes and precession of long molecular axes were found and the Arrhenius β-relaxation related to intramolecular motions. Complexity of dynamics at elevated and ambient pressure is similar. Shift towards lower frequencies was found for both α-relaxations. |
