Acoustic Signatures of the Phases and Phase Transitions in the Blume Capel Model with Random Crystal Field by Gul Gulpinar

“…The results showed that ωτ≪1 and ωτ≫1 are the conditions that describe low- and high-frequency regimes, where τ is the single relaxation time diverging in the vicinity of the critical temperature. In addition, assuming a linear coupling of sound wave with the order parameter fluctuations in the system and ε as the temperature distance from the critical point, we found that the sound attenuation follows the power laws α(ω,ε)~ω2ε-1 and α(ω,ε)~ω0ε1 in the low- and high-frequency regions, while ε→0. …”
