Numerical calculations of the density of tunneling and vibrational states of glasses within the soft‐potential model (an extension of the tunneling model to include soft vibrations) are reported and compared to analytical approximations. Using a specific assumption on the asymmetry of the soft potentials, one is able to describe the anomalous features of the specific heat Cp and the thermal conductivity of glasses over the entire low temperature range, up to and including the peak in Cp/T3 and the second rise of the thermal conductivity above the plateau.
Critical properties and volumetric behavior for the {CO2(1)+C3H8(2)} system have been studied. The critical locus was measured with a flow apparatus and detected by critical opalescence. For the mixtures, repeatabilities in critical temperature and pressure are rTc
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
