Disordered solids exhibit unusual properties of their vibrational states and thermal conductivities. Recent progresses have well established the concept of "elastic heterogeneity", i.e., disordered materials show spatially inhomogeneous…
Glasses and disordered materials are known to display anomalous features in the density of states, in the specific heat and in thermal transport. Nevertheless, in recent years, the question whether these properties are really anomalous (and…
The low frequency vibrational anomaly known as Boson peak (BP) have been studied extensively in various disordered systems, however its origin and theoretical description are still under debate. In this work, as one of the simplest model…
The dynamics of a soft sphere model glass, studied by molecular dynamics, is investigated. The vibrational density of states divided by $\omega^2$ shows a pronounced boson peak. Its shape is in agreement with the universal form derived for…
Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous solids, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by increasing pressure. We present an effective medium theory of…
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…
The equations of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for ideal liquid-glass transitions are used for a discussion of the evolution of the density-fluctuation spectra of glass-forming systems for frequencies within the dynamical window between…
The boson peak (BP), a low-energy excess in the vibrational density of states over the Debye contribution, is often identified as a characteristic of amorphous solid materials. Despite decades of efforts, its microscopic origin still…
The inelastic scattering intensities of glasses and amorphous materials has a maximum at a low frequency, the so called Boson peak. Under applied hydrostatic pressure, $P$, the Boson peak frequency, $\omega_{\rm b}$, is shifted upwards. We…
The topological nature of the disorder of glasses and supercooled liquids strongly affects their high-frequency dynamics. In order to understand its main features, we analytically studied a simple topologically disordered model, where the…
We discuss vibrational localization problems in glasses and disordered media in this paper. It is claimed that the essence of the localization problem is already observed in disordered lattice models. These kinds of vibrations belong to a…
We investigate a $d$-dimensional model ($d$ = 2,3) for sound waves in a disordered environment, in which the local fluctuations of the elastic modulus are spatially correlated with a certain correlation length. The model is solved…
Spatial fluctuations of the local electric field induced by a constant applied electric field in composite media are studied analytically and numerically. It is found that the density of states for the fields exhibit sharp peaks and abrupt…
Soft jammed solids exhibit intriguing mechanical properties, while their linear response is elusive. In particular, foams and emulsions generally reveal anomalous viscous loss with the loss and storage modulus following $G^{\prime \prime}…
In a recent article M. Baggioli and A. Zaccone (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 112}, 145501 (2019)) claimed that an anharmonic damping, leading to a sound attenuation proportional to $\omega^2$ (Akhiezer-type damping) would imply a boson peak, i.e.\…
A diagrammatic method is applied to study the effects of commensurability in two-dimensional disordered crystalline metals by using the particle-hole symmetry with respect to the nesting vector P_0={\pm{\pi}/a, {\pi}/a} for a half-filled…
We perform classical molecular-dynamics simulation to study the effect of densification on the vibrational spectrum of a model silica glass. We concentrate this study on the so-called Boson peak and compare our results, obtained from a…
We present a statistical analysis of eigenenergies and discuss several measures of spectral fluctuations and spectral correlations for the van der Waals clusters of different sizes. We show that the clusters become more and more complex…
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 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…
