Abstract

The theory of vibrational excitations of random alloys is presented, which takes into account the scattering of excitations on n-impurity complexes (clusters) and is capable to describe complex structure of their spectra. The essential feature of the theory consists in two-stage disorder averaging procedure. First, theory equations are averaged and Fourier transformed over the coordinate characterizing the cluster position as a whole. Then they are averaged over inter-impurity distances in the cluster. The derivation of the Green function equations is carried out both in the version similar to average-t-matrix approximation (ATA) and in that similar to coherent potential approximation (CPA).
