Abstract
We consider a model designed to describe the interaction between the conduction electrons and the localized configurational excitations (tunneling states) in metallic glasses. We show that this interaction is dominated by an infinite sequence of Anderson overlap catastrophies. Using perturbation theory and scaling arguments we analyze the low-temperature behavior of the model.Keywords
