Momentum deficit in quantum glasses
A. F. Andreev
Abstrak
Using the concept of tunneling two level systems we explain the reduction of rotational inertia of disordered solid 4He observed in the torsional oscillator experiments. The key point is a peculiar quantum phenomenon of momentum deficit for two level systems in moving solids. We show that an unusual state which is essentially different from both normal and superfluid solid states can be realized in quantum glasses. This state is characterized by reduced rotational inertia in oscillator experiments, by absence of a superflow, and by normal behavior in steady rotation.
