Ultrasonic shear and longitudinal measurements were made in Bz03 from 650° to 1000° C. From these data both the shear and volume relaxation time spectra were determined. The spectra had the same temperature dependence, although the volume spectrum was always broader than the shear spectrum. The shear relaxation process can be represented by a single relaxation time above 800° C in the region where the shear viscosity is Arrhenius. Both processes exhibit an increasingly broad distribution of relaxation times in the non‐Arrhenius region. The temperature dependence of the shear spectrum was analyzed in terms of a distribution of activation energies. A surprising conclusion of this study is that activation energies at low temperatures are smaller than the activation energy in the Arrhenius region.
