Glasses possess more low-frequency vibrational modes than predicted by Debye theory. These excess modes are crucial for the understanding the low temperature thermal and mechanical properties of glasses, which differ from those of…
We numerically study the evolution of the vibrational density of states $D(\omega)$ of zero-temperature glasses when their kinetic stability is varied over an extremely broad range, ranging from poorly annealed glasses obtained by…
It is now well established that structural glasses possess disorder- and frustration-induced soft quasilocalized excitations, which play key roles in various glassy phenomena. Recent work has established that in model glass-formers in three…
The universal form of the density of nonphononic, quasilocalized vibrational modes of frequency $\omega$ in structural glasses, ${\cal D}(\omega)$, was predicted theoretically decades ago, but only recently revealed in numerical…
It has been established that the low frequency quasi-localized modes of amorphous solids at zero temperature exhibit universal density of states, depending on the frequencies as $D(\omega) \sim \omega^4$. It remains an open question whether…
Low-frequency vibrational modes play a central role in determining various basic properties of glasses, yet their statistical and mechanical properties are not fully understood. Using extensive numerical simulations of several model glasses…
Besides the dynamical slowing down signaled by an enormous increase of the viscosity approaching the glass transition, structural glasses show interesting anomalous thermodynamic features at low temperatures that hint at peculiar deviations…
The theoretical understanding of the low-frequency modes in amorphous solids at finite temperature is still incomplete. The study of the relevant modes is obscured by the dressing of inter-particle forces by collision-induced momentum…
Low-frequency vibrational harmonic modes of glasses are frequently used to understand their universal low-temperature properties. One well studied feature is the excess low-frequency density of states over the Debye model prediction. Here…
We show through simulations of amorphous solids prepared in open boundary conditions that they possess significantly fewer low-frequency vibrational modes compared to their periodic boundary counterparts. Specifically, using measurements of…
It has been recently established that the low-frequency spectrum of simple computer glass models is populated by soft, quasilocalized nonphononic vibrational modes whose frequencies $\omega$ follow a gapless, universal distribution ${\cal…
We investigate the properties of the low-frequency spectrum in the density of states $D(\omega)$ of a three-dimensional model glass former. To magnify the Non-Debye sector of the spectrum, we introduce a random pinning field that freezes a…
We report the first measurements of the effect of pressure on vibrational modes in emulsions, which serve as a model for soft frictionless spheres at zero temperature. As a function of the applied pressure, we find that the density of…
Low frequency quasi-localized modes of amorphous glasses appear to exhibit universal density of states, depending on the frequencies as $D(\omega) \sim \omega^4$. To date various models of glass formers with short range binary interaction,…
We summarize the salient features of our theory of non-phononic vibrational excitations in glasses [W. Schirmacher et al., Nature Comm. 15, 3107 (2024)]. Next, we provide further evidence of the non-universality of the $\omega^4$ scaling of…
To better understand the surprising low-frequency vibrational modes in structural glasses, we study the spectra of a large ensemble of sparse random matrices where disorder is controlled by the distribution of bond weights and network…
Glasses have a large excess of low-frequency vibrational modes in comparison with crystalline solids. We show that such a feature is a necessary consequence of the geometry generic to weakly connected solids. In particular, we analyze the…
The vibrational density of states of glasses is considerably different from that of crystals. In particular, there exist spatially localized vibrational modes in glasses. The density of states of these non-phononic modes has been observed…
In addition to Goldstone phonons that generically emerge in the low-frequency vibrational spectrum of any solid, crystalline or glassy, structural glasses also feature other low-frequency vibrational modes. The nature and statistical…
It was recently shown that different simple models of glass formers with binary interactions define a universality class in terms of the density of states of their quasi-localized low-frequency modes. Explicitly, once the hybridization with…
