Abstract

A theory for the anomalous vibrational and thermal properties of disordered solids based on the model assumption of randomly fluctuating transverse elastic constants is presented. Mean-field expressions for the vibrational density of states and the energy diffusivity are derived with field-theoretical techniques. As in previous approaches of this type the boson peak (enhancement of the low-frequency density of states) is explained as a result of the frozen-in disorder and compares well with the experimental findings. The plateau in the temperature variation of the thermal conductivity and the behavior beyond the plateau is shown to arise from the enhanced scattering in the boson peak regime and to be essentially a harmonic phenomenon.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
