Non-Universal Dielectric Properties of Glasses at Very Low Temperatures — •Annina Luck, Andreas Reiser, Andreas Fleischmann, and Christian Enss — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Universität Heidelberg, 69120 Heidelberg
The universal behaviour of amorphous solids at low temperatures, governed by two level tunneling systems and described by the standard tunneling model, has long been a generally accepted fact. In the last years, however, measurements of dielectric two-pulse polarization echoes have revealed that nuclear electric quadrupole moments involved in atomic tunneling systems can cause specific material-dependent effects in magnetic fields.
We show measurements of dielectric properties of the two multicomponent glasses N-KZFS11 and HY-1, containing significant amounts of tantalum and holmium respectively. As 181Ta and 165Ho both carry very large nuclear electric quadrupole moments, these glasses are ideal candidates to determine the influence of these moments on the physical properties of glasses down to very low temperatures.
Our measurements not only show unique dielectric behaviour in both glasses, but also differ significantly from various predictions of the standard tunneling model.
