The Nakayama model for network glasses classifies vibrational states into extended (ex), strongly localized (sl), and mesoscopically localized (ml), in increasing order of energy. Recently measured Raman spectra under hydrostatic pressure exhibit sl-mode anharmonicity at least twenty times that for the ex and ml modes. The ex modes can induce hopping of the sl modes, leading to a contribution to the thermal conductivity . This additional channel for heat conduction is consistent with measurements for a wide variety of glassy materials above the plateau temperature.
