Sound attenuation and anharmonic damping in solids with correlated disorder
We study via self-consistent Born approximation a model for sound waves in a disordered environment, in which the local fluctuations of the shear modulus G are spatially correlated with a certain correlation length ξ. The theory predicts an enhancement of the density of states over Debye's ω2 l...
