Exotic Acoustic-Edge and Thermal Scaling in Disordered Hyperuniform Networks
Abstract
We develop a first-principles theory for the vibrational density of states (VDOS) and thermal properties of network materials built on stationary correlated disordered point configurations. For scalar (mass--spring) models whose dynamical matrix is a distance-weighted graph Laplacian, we prove that the limiting spectral measure is the pushforward of Lebesgue measure by a Fourier symbol that depends only on the edge kernel and the two-point statistics (equivalently the structure factor ). For hyperuniform systems with small- scaling and compensated kernels, {the VDOS exhibits an algebraic \emph{pseudogap} at low frequency, with , which implies a low-temperature specific heat and a heat-kernel decay , defining a spectral dimension .} This hyperuniformity-induced algebraic edge depletion could enable novel wave manipulation and low-temperature applications. Generalization to vector mechanical models and implications on material design are also discussed.
