ATTENUATION AND VELOCITY CHANGE OF ACOUSTIC WAVES IN THE AMORPHOUS METAL PdSiCu FROM 0.05 K TO 90 K

Abstract
Previous acoustic experiments in a-PdSiCu were extended. Attenuation and velocity change were measured at various frequencies around 500 MHz from 0.05 K to 90 K . The attenuation is interpreted as the sum of two contributions : one due to the relaxation of the TLS and the other due to an activated process. The velocity change is explained with the same two preceding contributions ; however it is necessary to add not only the resonant contribution but also an electronic term varying as T2.
