The boson peak (BP) is an excess of vibrational states over the Debye law appearing at terahertz frequencies. It is found in all glasses and marks the crossover between the long-wavelength behavior, where the solid can be considered as an…
Boson peak dynamics in glasses produce a robust crossover in the terahertz (THz) dielectric response that standard Debye or Lorentz models do not capture. We develop a continuum description of this THz response, coupling an…
We present a numerical simulation study of the density-dependence (rho = 2.2 - 4.0 g/cm^3) of the high-energy collective dynamics in vitreous silica at mesoscopic wavevectors (Q = 1 - 18 nm^-1). The density-dependence of the longitudinal…
The Boson peak (BP), an excess of vibrational density of states, is ubiquitous for amorphous materials and is believed to hold the key to understanding the dynamics of glass and glass transition. Previous studies have established an energy…
Disordered systems exhibit universal excitation, referred to as the boson peak, in the terahertz region. Meanwhile, the so-called fracton is expected to appear in the nanoscale region owing to the self-similar structure of monomers in…
The boson peak (BP) is a universal feature in the Raman and inelastic scattering spectra of both disordered and crystalline materials. The current paradigm presents the boson peak as the result of a Ioffe-Regel crossover between ballistic…
Boson peak (BP) dynamics refers to the universal excitation in the terahertz region of glass. In this study, the universal dynamics of BP were quantitatively evaluated in various glassy materials based on the heterogeneous elasticity theory…
Using many-body perturbation theory and density functional perturbation theory, we study the vibrational spectra of the internal stretch (IS) mode of CO on Pd(111) for the bridge and hollow adsorption structures that are experimentally…
We show that a {\em vibrational instability} of the spectrum of weakly interacting quasi-local harmonic modes creates the maximum in the inelastic scattering intensity in glasses, the Boson peak. The instability, limited by anharmonicity,…
The high-frequency excitations in glasses and supercooled liquids belong to the great mysteries of the physics of condensed matter. While the fast process, located at GHz-THz, can be interpreted as encaged molecular motion, the occurrence…
We report on a study of the in-plane infrared response of a \TBCCO film with $T_c$=108 K. The fingerprint evidence for a strong electron-Boson coupling has been observed. The raw reflectance below T$_c$ exhibits a knee structure at around…
Low-frequency Raman coupling coefficient of 11 different glasses is evaluated. It is found that the coupling coefficient demonstrates a universal linear frequency behavior near the boson peak maximum and a superlinear behavior at very low…
The model glass-former glycerol and its aqueous mixtures were investigated with terahertz-time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the frequency range of 0.3--3.0\,THz at temperatures from 80--305\,K. It was shown that the infrared absorption…
We investigate a prominent vibrational feature in amorphous silica, the so-called boson peak, by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations. The dynamic structure factor S(q,nu) in the liquid, as well as in the glass state, scales…
The nature of bosonic excitations in disordered materials has remained elusive due to the difficulties in defining key concepts such as quasi-particles in the presence of disorder. We report on the experimental observation of…
We report new inelastic Raman and neutron scattering spectra for glasses with different degrees of fragility; the data are compared for each sample to obtain the Raman coupling function $C(\omega)$. The study indicates a general linear…
Raman scattering cross sections depend on photon polarization. In the cuprates nodal and antinodal directions are weighted more strongly in $B_{2g}$ and $B_{1g}$ symmetry, respectively. On the other hand in angle-resolved photoemission…
The study of the effects of the density variations on the vibrational dynamics in vitreous silica is presented. A detailed analysis of the dynamical structure factor, as well as of the current spectra, allows the identification of a…
New temperature dependent inelastic x-ray (IXS) and Raman (RS) scattering data are compared to each other and with existing inelastic neutron scattering data in vitreous silica (v-SiO_2), in the 300 - 1775 K region. The IXS data show…
Hyper-Raman scattering has been measured on vitreous boron oxide, $v-$B$_2$O$_3$. This spectroscopy, complemented with Raman scattering and infrared absorption, reveals the full set of vibrations that can be observed with light. A mode…
