Abstract

The scaling form and system-size dependence of the low-frequency wing of the nonphononic vibrational spectrum of two-dimensional structural glasses have been debated in recent literature. Here we provide numerical evidence that the prefactor AgA_{\rm g} of the low-frequency nonphononic vibrational spectrum -- the latter grows from zero frequency (ω ⁣= ⁣0\omega\!=\!0) as AgωβA_{\rm g}\omega^\beta -- is system-size dependent, and that the exponent β\beta exhibits a similar glass-formation-protocol and system-size dependence as seen in three-dimensional structural glasses.
