Abstract
A connection is proposed between the anomalous thermal transport properties of amorphous solids and the low-frequency behavior of the Eliashberg function. By means of a model calculation we show that the size and frequency dependence of the phonon mean free path that has been extracted from measurements of the thermal conductivity in amorphous solids lead to a sizable linear region in the Eliashberg function at small frequencies. Quantitative comparison with recent experiments gives very good agreement.Keywords
