AbstractIt is well known that the liquid dynamics slows down on approaching the liquid-gas critical point or the liquid-glass transition. Recently we have found by the sound attenuation measurements that the metal-nonmetal (M-NM) transition also induces slow dynamics. In the M-NM transition range of expanded liquid Hg, we have observed anomalous increase in the sound attenuation due to the structural relaxation process. Assuming a simple Debye-type relaxation, we have estimated that the relaxation time should be of the order of nanoseconds and revealed that the relaxation strength has a broad maximum in the M-NM transition range. Moreover, two types of anomalies have been observed also in the semiconductor-metal (S-M) transition range of liquid Te-Se mixtures. We present the recent experimental results of the sound attenuation measurements and discuss briefly the mechanisms of the slow dynamics in the metal-nonmetal transition range of liquids.

Interferometry has provided the sensitivity needed for the gathering, through suitable windows, of infrared absorption and emission spectra of excellent resolution (<1 cm−1) from sample volumes even as small as EHD contact regions. Thus the power of molecular vibrational spectroscopy can be used to determine phase changes and structural changes in fluids subjected to conditions prevailing in EHD contacts. In this paper, some of the infrared methods are illustrated by the description of preliminary work in which the cavity of a high-pressure diamond anvil cell was used for contact simulation. Reference is made to a fluorescence-spectroscopic method of pressure determination in the diamond cell, which is also helpful in locating liquid/glass transition points.
