A molecular dynamics simulation of various induced-dipole correlation functions has been carried out in liquid CCl4. The induction was assumed to stem from an octupole and a hexadecapole mechanism. For both mechanisms we have obtained the total dipole and self-correlation functions. The results indicate details of intermolecular cancellation in liquid CCl4. The comparison with experimental spectra reveals the presence of an additional high-frequency induction mechanism in the real liquid.
