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 monotonically, but reaches a maximum at a few Kelvin and decreases at higher temperatures. Tunneling-two-level-system (TTLS) model explained the $ln T$ dependence of sound velocity shift. In TTLS model the slope ratio of $ln T$ dependence of sound velocity shift between lower temperature increasing regime (resonance regime) and higher temperature decreasing regime (relaxation regime) is $mathcal{C}^{rm res }:mathcal{C}^{rm rel }=1:-frac{1}{2}$. In this paper we develop the generic coupled block model to prove the slope ratio of sound velocity shift between two regimes is $mathcal{C}^{rm res }:mathcal{C}^{rm rel }=1:-1$ rather than $1:-frac{1}{2}$, which agrees with the majority of the measurements. The dielectric constant shift in low-temperature glasses, $[epsilon_r(T)-epsilon_r(T_0)]/epsilon_r(T_0)$, has a similar logarithmic temperature dependence below $10$K: $[epsilon(T)-epsilon(T_0)]/epsilon(T_0) = mathcal{C}ln(T/T_0)$. In TTLS model the slope ratio of dielectric constant shift between resonance and relaxation regimes is $mathcal{C}^{rm res}:mathcal{C}^{rm rel}=-1:frac{1}{2}$. In this paper we apply the electric dipole-dipole interaction, to prove that the slope ratio between two regimes is $mathcal{C}^{rm res}:mathcal{C}^{rm rel} = -1:1$ rather than $-1:frac{1}{2}$. Our result agrees with the dielectric constant measurements. By developing a real space renormalization technique for glass non-elastic and dielectric susceptibilities, we show that these universal properties essentially come from the $1/r^3$ long range interactions, independent of the materials microscopic properties.

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 ecent computer simulations demonstrated that in the harmonic approximation sound attenuation $Gamma$ obeys quartic, Rayleigh scattering scaling for small wavevectors $k$ and quadratic scaling for wavevectors above the Ioffe-Regel limit. However, simulations and experiments do not provide a clear picture of what to expect at finite temperatures where anharmonic effects become relevant. Here we study sound attenuation at finite temperatures for model glasses of various stability, from unstable glasses that exhibit rapid aging to glasses whose stability is equal to those created in laboratory experiments. We find several scaling laws depending on the temperature and stability of the glass. First, we find the large wavevector quadratic scaling to be unchanged at all temperatures. Second, we find that at small wavectors $Gamma sim k^{1.5}$ for an aging glass, but $Gamma sim k^2$ when the glass does not age on the timescale of the calculation. For our most stable glass, we find that $Gamma sim k^2$ at small wavevectors, then a crossover to Rayleigh scattering scaling $Gamma sim k^4$, followed by another crossover to the quadratic scaling at large wavevectors. Our computational observation of this quadratic behavior reconciles simulation, theory and experiment, and will advance the understanding of the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of glasses.
Tunneling-two-level-system (TTLS) model has successfully explained several low-temperature glass universal properties which do not exist in their crystalline counterparts. The coupling constants between longitudinal and transverse phonon strain field s and two-level-systems are denoted as $gamma_l$ and $gamma_t$. The ratio $gamma_l/gamma_t$ was observed to lie between $1.44$ and $1.84$ for 18 different kinds of glasses. Such universal property cannot be explained within TTLS model. In this paper by developing a microscopic generic coupled block model, we show that the ratio $gamma_l/gamma_t$ is proportinal to the ratio of sound velocity $c_l/c_t$. We prove that the universality of $gamma_l/gamma_t$ essentially comes from the mutual interaction between different glass blocks, independent of the microscopic structure and chemical compound of the amorphous materials. In the appendix we also give a detailed correction on the coefficient of non-elastic stress-stress interaction $Lambda_{ijkl}^{(ss)}$ which was obtained by Joffrin and Levelutcite{Joffrin1976}.

Glass sound velocity shift was observed to be longarithmically temperature dependent in both relaxation and resonance regimes: $Delta c/c=mathcal{C}ln T$. It does not monotonically increase with temperature from $T=0$K, but to reach a maximum around a few Kelvin. Different from tunneling-two-level-system (TTLS) which gives the slope ratio between relaxation and resonance regimes $mathcal{C}^{rm rel }:mathcal{C}^{rm res }=-frac{1}{2}:1$, we develop a generic coupled block model to give $mathcal{C}^{rm rel }:mathcal{C}^{rm res }=-1:1$, which agrees well with the majority of experimental measurements. We use electric dipole-dipole interaction to carry out a similar behavior for glass dielectric constant shift $Delta epsilon/epsilon=mathcal{C}ln T$. The slope ratio between relaxation and resonance regimes is $mathcal{C}^{rm rel}:mathcal{C}^{rm res}=1:-1$ which agrees with dielectric measurements quite well. By developing a renormalization procedure for non-elastic stress-stress and dielectric susceptibilities, we prove these universalities essentially come from $1/r^3$ long range interactions, independent of materials microscopic properties.

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 t unneling 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.

We show that room temperature resistivity of Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2Fe12O22 single crystals increases by more than three orders of magnitude upon being subjected to optimized heat treatments. The increase in the resistivity allows the determination of magnetic field (H)-induced ferroelectric phase boundaries up to 310 K through the measurements of dielectric constant at a frequency of 10 MHz. Between 280 and 310 K, the dielectric constant curve shows a peak centered at zero magnetic field and thereafter decreases monotonically up to 0.1 T, exhibiting a magnetodielectric effect of 1.1%. This effect is ascribed to the realization of magnetic field-induced ferroelectricity at an H value of less than 0.1 T near room temperature. Comparison between electric and magnetic phase diagrams in wide temperature- and field-windows suggests that the magnetic field for inducing ferroelectricity has decreased near its helical spin ordering temperature around 315 K due to the reduction of spin anisotropy in Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2Fe12O22.
