Anion-Dependence of Fast Relaxation Component in Na-, K-Halide Solutions at Low Concentrations Measured by High-Resolution Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy
High-resolution microwave dielectric spectra of NaX, KX (X: F, Cl, Br, I) aqueous solutions of c = 0.05 and 0.1 M measured in the frequency range 0.2-26 GHz at 10 degrees C are analyzed. The dielectric relaxation (DR) spectrum of each solution, which deviates slightly from the bulk-water spectrum, is mathematically divided into the bulk-water spectrum and the spectrum of solute particles covered with a water layer using a mixture theory by assuming the existence of continuous bulk-water phase. The solute spectra above 3 GHz are fitted with a linear series of pure water component (gamma dispersion with DR frequency f(w)), fast Debye component-1 with DR frequency f(1) (>f(w)), and slow Debye component-2 with DR frequency f(2) (
