This could account for the anomaly in the low-temperature thermal properties observed in a large number of noncrystalline solids and glassy polymers. It is shown that under certain conditions the excess low-temperature specific heat is nearly proportional to absolute temperature.}, pages = {1468--1473}, title = {Frequency Spectrum and Low-Temperature Specific Heat of Noncrystalline Solids}, volume = {48}, year = {1972} }
