Table 5

Characteristic parameters of the Debye peaks in Figure 9(a), associated with a hypothetical mechanical relaxation. The values of and were fitted empirically. Only at 375°C was fitted empirically, while at 350 and 365°C was obtained with an Arrhenius equation for ((4)) with activation energy 0.60 eV/at.
