2002 Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter  
The heterogeneous string model for a twist disclination, which is an extended defect of rotational type, is considered. Within the framework of this model, the contribution of twist disclinations to the specific heat and internal friction of disordered semiconductors is calculated.
