Abstract

We show that recent short-time-scale measurements of the specific heat of amorphous dielectrics are not inconsistent with the predictions of the tunneling model if the associated heat diffusion problem is properly treated. This requires taking into account the kinetics of energy transfer between the phonons and the tunneling modes.
