摘要
In order to describe the phonon-related heat propagation in glasses below 1 K we derive thermodynamic field equations that follow from an underlying kinetic theory including the interaction of phonons and tunneling systems. It is shown that the solution of the derived linearized field equation for given boundary and initial values of heat-pulse experiments are in excellent agreement with the experimental data obtained in vitreous silica. Moreover, a new kind of energy propagation in glasses at low temperatures is predicted. Finally, we calculate the time dependence of heat release due to the relaxation of low-energy excitations, and this requires a numerical solution of the nonlinear field equations.
