  1. 6. LOW-TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF NON-CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS T > 1 K: other low-frequency excitations, “soft modes”, and the Soft-Potential Model

  2. T > 1 K ? U. Buchenau et al.,Phys.Rev. B34, 5665 (1986)

  3. Basic assumptions of the SOFT-POTENTIAL MODEL: V(x) = W (D1 x + D2 x2 + x4 ) (i) The soft modes can on average be characterized by a single energy W (ii) D1 and D2 are randomly distributed around the origin of the D1 - D2 plane:  P(D1 , D2) = P(0, 0) Ps (iii) The interaction between the soft modes and the sound waves is bilinear in the displacement of the soft mode and in the strain field of the sound wave: Vl,t = l,txl,t

  4. V(x) = W (D1 x + D2 x2 + x4 ) D2 < 0 V(x) = Wx4 D2=D1=0 D2 > 0
