Abstract

We investigate analytically the low temperature behavior of the specific heat Cv(T)C_v(T) for a large class of quantum disordered models within Mean Field approximation. This includes the vibrational modes of a lattice pinned by impurity disorder in the quantum regime, the quantum spherical pp-spin-glass and a quantum Heisenberg spin glass. We exhibit a general mechanism, common to all these models, arising from the so-called marginality condition, responsible for the cancellation of the linear and quadratic contributions in TT in the specific heat. We thus find for all these models the Mean Field result Cv(T)T3C_v(T) \propto T^3.
