The density of vibrational states $g(\omega)$ of an amorphous system is studied by using the random-matrix theory. Taking into account the most important correlations between elements of the random matrix of the system, equations for the…

A theory for the vibrational dynamics in disordered solids [W. Schirmacher, Europhys. Lett. {\bf 73}, 892 (2006)], based on the random spatial variation of the shear modulus, has been applied to determine the wavevector ($k$) dependence of…

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…

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…

The boson peak is an excess in the phonon density of states relative to the Debye Model, which occurs at frequencies below the Debye limit. It is present in most amorphous materials and, as was recently shown, can sometimes be found also in…

In this study, a new alternative model algorithm has been proposed for assembling amorphous structures, unifying the bosonic paradigm applicable at low temperatures with crystalline models relevant at room and higher temperatures. Physical…

The scaling behavior of the so-called boson peak in glass-formers and its relation to the elastic properties of the system remains a source of controversy. Here, the boson peak in a binary reactive mixture is measured by Raman scattering…

Low-temperature properties of crystalline solids can be understood using harmonic perturbations around a perfect lattice, as in Debye's theory. Low-temperature properties of amorphous solids, however, strongly depart from such descriptions,…

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,…

Much of the discussion in the literature of the low frequency part of the density of states of amorphous solids was dominated for years by comparing measured or simulated density of states to the classical Debye model. Since this model is…

The low-temperature properties of amorphous solids are widely believed to be controlled by low-frequency quasi-localized modes. What governs their spatial structure and density is however debated. We study these questions numerically in…

A simple model of harmonic vibrations in topologically disordered systems, such as glasses and supercooled liquids, is studied analytically by extending Euclidean Random Matrix Theory to include vector vibrations. Rather generally, it is…

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…

Vibrational density of states (VDOS) in a supercooled polydisperse liquid is computed by diagonalizing the Hessian matrix evaluated at the potential energy minima for systems with different values of polydispersity. An increase of…

We investigate the vibrational properties of topologically disordered materials by analytically studying particles that harmonically oscillate around random positions. Exploiting classical field theory in the thermodynamic limit at $T=0$,…

The excess low-frequency vibrational spectrum, called boson peak, and non-affine elastic response are the most important particularities of glasses. Herein, the vibrational and mechanical properties of polymeric glasses are examined by…

We poorly understand the properties of amorphous systems at small length scales, where a continuous elastic description breaks down. This is apparent when one considers their vibrational and transport properties, or the way forces propagate…

We show that the same physical mechanism is fundamental for two seemingly different phenomena such as the formation of two-level systems in glasses and the Boson peak in the reduced density of low-frequency vibrational states g(w)/w^2. This…

In glasses, atomic disorder combined with atomic connectivity makes understanding of the nature of the vibrations much more complex than in crystals or molecules. With a simple model, however, it is possible to show how disorder generates…

The density of vibrational states for glasses and jammed solids exhibits universal features, including an excess of modes above the Debye prediction known as the boson peak located at a frequency $\omega^*$ . We show that the eigenvector…
