Universal properties of high-frequency spectra in glass formers

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

The vibrational spectra of glass formers follow different laws with respect to crystals. A rationale for their anomalous behaviour is provided by the euclidean random matrix theory. Experiments on glass formers at different densities might be a suitable route to test the prediction of the theory.
