Abstract
The short-range order (SRO) in Pd78Cu6Si16 liquid was studied by high energy x-ray diffraction and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated pair correlation functions at different temperatures agree well with the experimental results. The partial pair correlation functions from ab intio MD simulations indicate that Si atoms prefer to be uniformly distributed while Cu atoms tend to aggregate. By performing structure analysis using Honeycutt-Andersen index, Voronoi tessellation, and atomic cluster alignment method, we show that the icosahedron and face-centered cubic SRO increase upon cooling. The dominant SRO is the Pd-centered Pd9Si2 motif, namely the structure of which motif is similar to the structure of Pd-centered clusters in the Pd9Si2 crystal. The study further confirms the existence of trigonal prism capped with three half-octahedra that is reported as a structural unit in Pd-based amorphous alloys. The majority of Cu-centered clusters are icosahedra, suggesting that the presence of Cu is benefit to promote the glass forming ability.

Abstract
We have made reliable measurements of the sound velocity delta v/v(0) and internal friction Q(-1) in vitreous silica at 1.03, 3.74, and 14.0 kHz between 1 mK and 0.5 K. In contrast with earlier studies that did not span as wide a temperature and frequency range, our measurements of Q(-1) reveal a crossover (as T decreases) only near 10 mK from the T(3) dependence predicted by the standard tunneling model to a T dependence predicted if interactions are accounted for. We find good fits at all frequencies using a single interaction parameter, the prefactor of the interaction-driven relaxation rate, in contrast to earlier claims of a frequency dependent power law. We also show that the discrepancy in the slopes d(delta v/v(0))/d(log(10)T) below and above the sound velocity maximum (1: -1 observed, 1: -2 predicted) can be resolved by assuming a modified distribution of tunneling states.

Abstract
The delocalization of excitations in an ensemble of two-level systems with a strong disorder due to an external alternating acoustic or electric field is considered. The propagating modes are shown to appear if a ratio of the field amplitude to the frequency is large enough. Two complementary approaches, the static one similar to that of Anderson and the dynamic one related to Landau-Zener, are developed. It is shown that the field-induced relaxation mechanism can have a strong influence on the kinetics. The internal friction is argued to be vastly affected by the relaxation mechanism proposed.

Abstract
Internal friction and speed of sound were measured on a-SiO2 above 6 mK using a torsional oscillator at 90 kHz, controlling for thermal decoupling, vibrational heating, background losses, and nonlinear effects. Strain amplitudes epsilon(A) = 10(-8) mark the transition between the linear and nonlinear regimes. In the former, agreement with the tunneling model was observed for both internal friction and speed of sound above 25 mK. The observed deviations in the speed of sound below 25 mK can be described with a cutoff energy of Delta(0, min)/k(B) = 6+/-0.5 mK. In the nonlinear regime, above 10 mK the behavior was typical for nonlinear harmonic oscillators, while below 10 mK different behavior was found.

Abstract
The internal friction Q-1 and the sound velocity deltav/v of vitreous silica were measured at very low temperatures using mechanical double paddle resonators operated at frequencies ranging from 0.33 to 14 kHz. Below approximately 40 mK the internal friction showed an unexpected temperature and frequency dependence, with absolute values of Q-1 clearly exceeding those predicted by the standard tunneling model. Even though the most plausible origin of the observed excess internal friction appears to be the mutual interaction between tunneling states, the results are difficult to reconcile quantitatively with present theories taking into account this interaction.
