Abstract
Results from molecular dynamics of liquid argon and far-infrared spectroscopy of liquid carbon dioxide are compared with those based on a model of a harmonic oscillator undergoing Brownian motion with fluctuations in the spring constant. It is found that both data are fitted well when the friction constant is set zero, indicating that the irreversibility of dynamical behaviour of the liquids arises from fluctuations in potential rather than collisions.
