The paper presents a description of the sound wave absorption in glasses, from the lowest temperatures up to the glass transition, in terms of two compatible phenomenological models. Resonant tunneling, the rise of the relaxational tunneling to the tunneling plateau and the crossover to classical relaxation are universal features of glasses and are well described by the extension of the tunneling model to include soft vibrations and low barrier relaxations, the soft potential model. Its further extension to non-universal features at higher temperatures is the very flexible Gilroy-Phillips model, which allows to determine the barrier density of the energy landscape of the specific glass from the frequency and temperature dependence of the sound wave absorption in the classical relaxation domain. To apply it properly at elevated temperatures, one needs its formulation in terms of the shear compliance. As one approaches the glass transition, universality sets in again with an exponential rise of the barrier density reflecting the frozen fast Kohlrausch t^beta-tail (in time t, with beta close to 1/2) of the viscous flow at the glass temperature. The validity of the scheme is checked for literature data of several glasses and polymers with and without secondary relaxation peaks. The frozen Kohlrausch tail of the mechanical relaxation shows no indication of the strongly temperature-dependent excess wing observed in dielectric data of molecular glasses with hydrogen bonds. Instead, the mechanical relaxation data indicate an energy landscape describable with a frozen temperature-independent barrier density for any glass.
The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of amorphous solids is markedly different from that of their crystalline counterparts, but exhibits universal behaviour. Sound attenuation is believed to be related to this universal behaviour. R
In this brief note we comment on the recent results presented in arXiv:1812.08736v1
Three classes of harmonic disorder systems (Lennard-Jones like glasses, percolators above threshold, and spring disordered lattices) have been numerically investigated in order to clarify the effect of different types of disorder on the mechanism of
In low-temperature glasses, the sound velocity changes as the logarithmic function of temperature below $10$K: $[c(T) - c(T_0)]/c(T_0) = mathcal{C}ln(T/T_0)$. With increasing temperature starting from $T=0$K, the sound velocity does not increase mono
Some facets of the way sound waves travel through glasses are still unclear. Recent works have shown that in the low-temperature harmonic limit a crucial role in controlling sound damping is played by local elastic heterogeneity. Sound waves propagat
