Abstract

The attenuation of high-frequency sound in disordered quasi-one-dimensional semiconducting and dielectric crystals, which is associated with three-phonon decay and elastic scattering by structure defects is considered theoretically. It is shown that specific interference processes occurring in the regime of weak localization of acoustic vibrational excitations considerably affect the propagation of sound. This mechanism of sound attenuation can be observed experimentally from the anomalies in the frequency dependence of the reciprocal attenuation length of sound.
