Anomalous spectral density and two-level system-phonon coupling in an insulating magnetic glass

Abstract
Low temperature ultrasonic measurements on the magnetic glass (MnF 2)0.65(BaF2)0.2(NaPO3) 0.15 in the 0.1-1 GHz range give a value for the spectral density P of two level systems (TLS) two orders of magnitude smaller than usual and very large values for the TLS-phonon coupling constants γ1 and γt. Comparison with the case of the non-magnetic glass (ZnF2)0.6(BaF2)0.2(NaPO3 )0.2 suggests that these anomalous values are related to the magnetic properties of the glass
