Abstract

The propagation of heat pulses in systems with defects as trapping centers of nonequilibrium phonons is investigated theoretically. Among these defects are point defects involving two-level systems (TLSs) of different nature. It is demonstrated that, in addition to the principal signal, one more signal can be detected by the bolometer due to reemission of the nonequilibrium TLS energy at a certain ratio of relaxation times in the phonon and TLS subsystems. The temperature and concentration dependences of the time of signal arrival at the bolometer are analyzed. The results of theoretical investigations are compared with experimental data on the propagation of weakly nonequilibrium thermal phonons in solid solutions of the Y3−xErxAl5O12 rare-earth yttrium aluminum garnets.
