In order to elucidate details of relaxations caused by the sodium ion in dehydrated Na-A zeolite, a simplified jump model was constructed for the sodium ion on site 3, Na + /S3. In the model, Na + /S3 was set up to jump around among three adjacent unequivalent sites, that is, S3, a position in (or near) the 8-ring (S2′) and a position near the 6-ring (S1′). A relaxation theory was developed for the model. The equations derived showed that the relaxations were expressed with two relaxation times, τ, which related to transition frequencies of S3 T S2′ and S3 T S1′. In order to obtain a clear picture of relaxations, the expressions of τ were approximated and simplified. The simplified expressions clearly indicated that the relaxations observed at the lower and higher frequency sides mainly reflect the jumps of the sodium ion from S2′ to S3 and from S1′ to S3, respectively. Therefore, the concrete meaning of activation energy determined experimentally was also elucidated; the activation energies for the relaxations at the lower and higher frequency sides reflect the heights of the potential barrier in jumps from S2′ to S3 and from S1′ to S3, respectively. The transition frequencies for both jumps were calculated based on the measured frequencies of loss peaks. The validities of relationships used for approximation of τ were examined by using the calculated transition frequencies and were confirmed to be fully satisfied in the concerned temperature range (300-550 K). It is the first time that the relaxations in zeolite with a complicated configuration of cations and their sites are theoretically and minutely analyzed.
