Glassy heat capacity from overdamped phasons and a hypothetical phason-induced superconductivity in incommensurate structures

Cunyuan Jiang, Alessio Zaccone, Chandan Setty +1

Phasons are collective low-energy modes that appear in disparate condensed matter systems such as quasicrystals, incommensurate structures, fluctuating charge density waves, and Mo…
